2.0 out of 5 stars Much ado about nothing, September 14, 2006
This review is from: Making ADD Work: On-the-Job Strategies for Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder (Paperback)
There is very little of substance to this book with regard to concrete suggestions on strategies a person can use to work with ADD as an adult - especially in the work place; lots of "stories." There is great emphasis about enlisting the help of family, friends, coworkers. People with ADD just want to work with it; they don't want their world to be involved in it. A very disappointing missive.

3.0 out of 5 stars Title doesn't match contents, May 10, 2008
By 
Martin Hughes (Grand Rapids, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making ADD Work: On-the-Job Strategies for Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder (Paperback)
I was hoping for some practical tips on how to manage ADD at my current job. Most of those tips--and there are only a few basic ones--can be found in the first 1/3 of the book. The second 2/3 focus instead on getting a different job and getting help from third party professionals. I notice that most of the positive reviews come from some of the kinds of professionals recommended in the last part of the book. Not that there's anything wrong with that, or with them per se, but there's just not a lot in this slim volume for people who love their jobs and who are interested in staying there and striving toward greater success where they're at already.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I had hoped, February 24, 2008

This review is from: Making ADD Work: On-the-Job Strategies for Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder (Paperback)
I had such high hopes for this book guiding me through some very challenging times at work. While I gained some valuable tips from Making ADD Work:... All in all it has not been as helpful as some of the other books I am consulting. It comes off as more of a discussion group than a true problem solving solution.
