Digital professor copy available on VitalSource once published ?Imagine a toolkit filled with tried-and-true skills that empower adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to be more focused and productive—and to “hack” daily life so their strengths can shine. That's exactly what expert ADHD therapist Laura E. Knouse and preeminent authority Russell A. Barkley offer readers in this friendly guide. Twenty-seven short, engaging chapters present a menu of science-based strategies and resources for getting organized, completing tasks from start to finish, managing time, regulating emotions and impulses, and addressing common relationship problems associated with ADHD. Featuring checklists, self-coaching tips, helpful links, and downloadable forms, this quick-reference guide is an ideal companion to Dr. Barkley's bestselling Taking Charge of Adult ADHD, Second Edition, which takes a deeper dive into the disorder and its treatment.
This title is part of The Guilford Living Well Series.
“Bravo! Drs. Knouse and Barkley have written a superb, original book. The authors have adroitly included their wealth of knowledge and experience. I love all the brief chapters in the 'Menu of Moves for Living Well' section. From 'Show Up on Time' to 'Drive Safely,' I've never seen all the major ADHD hot spots addressed so clearly, succinctly, and authoritatively.”
—Edward Hallowell, MD, coauthor of Driven to Distraction
