Product Description:
Organizing books fall short of addressing the unique needs of adults with ADD. They fail to understand the clinical picture of ADD and how it impacts the organizing process often making their advice irrelevant or frustrating when put into application.Books about ADD may address organization/disorganization but do so in a cursory fashion and on a very small scale in what are usually long books on the subject.This is a book that has ADD-Friendly advice with the ADDer in mind. This collaboration brings forth the best underlying understanding with the most effective and practical remedy from ADD experts in two important fields -- professional organization and clinical psychology. Finally, it offers organizing advice that ranges from self-help to utilizing the help of non-professionals, to using professional assistance. Thus it permits the reader to decide where they are at personally in the organizing process, and what level of support will be most beneficial to their unique situation.

This book is a gift to adults with ADD. I have only read 2 chapters and it has already made a big difference in my life.

I strongly recommend it to any adult with ADD. It is a great tool.
Rating:  - These people know how ADD brains work
This book addresses the challenges that adults with ADD face every single Day. There is a section in each chapter called: Is this your history? It is if you:
1. Find that forgetfulness and lack of planning add to your daily stress;

3. Allow people or circumstances decide for you;

Rating: - Authors speak from experience
These ladies clearly know first hand what it's like to live with ADD by any name.Their approach to the problem is easy to understand and effective in that it teaches you how to work within the limitations of this condition and play to it's positives.A very useful and practical approach.
Rating:  - Not that impressive or helpful
Too many books read like the author just copied articles on a subject and crammed them into a so-called book.This was one of those.There just wasn't any helpful information in it and I thought it was a waste of money.
