Taking Charge of Adult ADHD
Dr. Russell Barkley is, perhaps, the most trusted ADHD expert in the world. And if you're like me, one of the millions of adults struggling with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), you're probably desperate for solid, reliable information about this condition and how to manage it. We need more than just facts – we need real, practical strategies to help us play to our strengths and achieve our goals, whether that's at work, in our relationships, or in our personal lives.
What I appreciate about the revised and updated second edition is that it's completely current, with the latest resources and medication information. Plus, it dives into new or expanded topics like mindfulness, emotional self-control, time management, building a successful career, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle – you know, all the stuff we struggle with daily.

The Smart but Scattered Guide to Success
If you're anything like me - smart but scattered, always feeling like you're struggling to keep up - you're definitely not alone. There's some fascinating new research out there that suggests our modern, always-connected world, combined with the growing pressures of work and family life, might just be overloading the part of our brain that handles complex tasks. And if you're someone who doesn't have the strongest executive skills - you know, those core brain abilities we need to stay focused, meet deadlines, and keep our cool when things get hectic - well, you're probably feeling the strain even more.
That's why I'm so excited about this guide by Peg Dawson and Richard Guare. These experts have put together a book that helps you figure out your own executive skills profile, while providing practical, effective steps to boost your organizational skills, time management, emotional control, and nine other crucial abilities we all need to function effectively.
