Great for Self discovery,
By "addpremed" (Atlanta, Ga) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living with ADD: A Workbook for Adults With Attention Deficit Disorder (Paperback)
This is an excellent workbook for ADDers.It helps you to analyze your behaviors, thoughts, and feelings in different situations; understand why your behaving/feeling the way you do; how to cultivate change; and why the change is important and beneficial to you. I can't express enough my delight in this book, 12 chapters: 3 informative and 9 subjects of potential challenge in an ADDer's day to day life. Especially for recently diagnosed adult college students such as myself. A must read!!!

Practical Help for ADD-ults and Others,
By Wayne Aadelstone-Hassel (North Vancouver,, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living with ADD: A Workbook for Adults With Attention Deficit Disorder (Paperback)
I count myself lucky for having stumbled across this helpful title a couple of months ago. This highly readable book can benefit anyone who has ever struggled with his or her own behavior patterns --and who hasn't? Many of the problems encountered by people with ADD are non-specific and afflict a large percentage of "non-ADD" people as well, even if to a lesser degree. For this reason, "Living with ADD" deserves a closer look from a wider audience. Such headings as "Conquering the Internal Critic" --"Handling Criticism from Others" --"Ten Fallacies of Thinking" including catastrophizing, personalizing, and polarized thinking address most of us whether or not we fit into the diagnostic boundaries of ADD. The eminently practical advice given by the authors is offered in short paragraphs that even most ADD readers will find manageable; more imporantly yet, the advice is do-able!Since ADD (and Life) are not monolithic conditions, you may be able to skip an occasional exercise that does not apply to you, but rest assured: the moment you turn the page, the authors will be looking you straight in the eye again. Clearly Roberts and Jansen know whereof they speak. Their PHDs notwithstanding, they have succeeded in communicating their insights without getting tangled in academic jargon. I thank them.
