Product Description
People think of ADD as a kid’s problem. But kids grow up. Many adults also struggle with ADD. There are book resources on the market for these folks. But they are often too long. Or too complicated. Or too dry and clinical. Adults with ADD need straightforward tools for coping with real experiences. This book offers exactly what they need.

Each chapter takes up an issue pertinent to adults with ADD: "My mind wanders" "I'm always misplacing things." "I have trouble keeping friends." "I have a hard time getting started." In no more than five to seven pages, the book outlines strategies for each problem that are simple to put into practice. If you’re struggling with adult ADD, the information in this book offers you immediate and lasting rewards: better concentration, sharper memory, enhanced focus, and greater self-confidence.

From the Publisher
A professional ADD coach offers simple tools and tips for adults with ADD on how to heighten concentration and memory retention, lessen anxiety, cope with anger and frustration, deal with social situations, handle finances, and perform successfully at work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pocket-sized book of ADD tips (if you have largish pockets), August 10, 2006

By	dame ethel (Australia) - See all my reviews

I really like this book. It is pretty short, but it contains some very good ideas. I read it a few days ago, and picked up a few tips which I've been using. The brevity helps to avoid information overload, but there are plenty of citations throughout so that the reader can look into the research if they decide to.

The layout is great. It's easily readable from cover to cover in one day, but it is also very easy to jump straight to the relevant idea when you need it. I like the fact that there are exercises at the end of each chapter to help with synthesising the information.

My only complaint is that, in the descriptions of ADHD, hyperactivity is normally assumed, so for inattentive types it can be hard to relate to some of the examples. But the tips have been useful and they seem like they would be applicable for all types of ADHD.

5.0 out of 5 stars practical and effective, July 30, 2006

By	D. So - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Hi, i'm reading alot of books on adhd and this was one of the most practical books i've ever read on the subject. In fact it's so practical that I wished all authors will follow this example because it's not so lengthy where it's boring, it's the most no nonsense book i've read on the subject. I've read a similar book from Thom Hartmann's add sucess stories and this book was way better organised into 10 practical chapters. The suggestions were also similar yet so much better in this book.

After reading this book, I for the first time in my life cleared all cluttered from all of my rooms and still kept it tidy. I should read up on managing money because i'm overspending way too much this month. It's good because it's almost like a reference manual, you can alway go back and check the chapter that you need to work on. Okay it doesn't get overly specific, still I don't have many complaints about this book. You won't be disappointed with this book, keep it handy, it's a good reference manual and it's among the best i've read so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't lose this book, March 8, 2006

By	Richard A. Moskovitz - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In 10 Simple Solutions to Adult ADD, Dr. Stephanie Sarkis provides a roadmap for people with ADD to reclaim control of their chaotic and often frustrating lives. Her tips are straightforward, practical, and doled out in bite-sized morsels that can be consumed easily within the attention span of someone with ADD. Despite the title, this book contains valuable tips for anyone who wants to improve their efficiency of daily living. Who wouldn't benefit from learning how to organize, prioritize, simplify, and unclutter their lives and their surroundings? But if you do have ADD, either read Chapter 4 first or buy two or three copies in case you misplace it before you finish reading it.

Richard Moskovitz, M.D., psychiatrist and author of Carousel Music and Lost in the Mirror, 2nd Edition: An Inside Look at Borderline Personality Disorder
