 So far so good.... October 23, 2008

I have only read the first 23 pages so far. At this point, I already know, the person writing this book knows me. I have not gotten this feeling from other books I have read or from any therapist or anyone else for that matter. I will write additional reviews as time allows and I have more to report. I would call this the most important book I have read to date. It has been more than 10 years since I was diagnosed, I am 44.

Chapter one is one of the best descriptions of ADD that I have read. I learned a lot about myself even though I have read several other books on the subject and have been acquainted with the disorder for more than 10 years.
Chapter two describes how right-brained people's brain functions, how learning and recall are different from left-brained people. Very interesting and practical information.
The best part is the 4-week schedule of activities in the last chapter. I was amazed when I started to do the activities. Now I know why other organizing systems (based on left-brained logic) never worked. You can see amazing results immediately. The important point is DO THE DAILY ACTIVITIES at the end of the book. It will change the way you look at life. Organization and follow-through will be like never before. I always thought I could never get organized, but now it is happening!
 too much imagery June 30, 2008

I just couldn't get into the imagery in my mind of an organized space. I was looking for something with ideas on how I could work with my ADD, this wasn't it.
 Some good ideas...... May 26, 2008

What I took away from this is the power of visualization and developing visual memory as an another tool. I didn't however finish the four week program. Part of this, sure, is ADD, but part of it was the excruciatingly slow pace at which it progressed. When I have a desk full of bills to pay, I don't like directions to "spend no more than 10 minutes on your desk today." It just doesn't fly. To be fair, this would probably be a great book for someone who had no organizational systems in place, was completely overwhelmed, and had no idea where or how to start. I know there's many out there like that. I do have a system of sorts, so this wasn't a good fit for me. If you have ADD and have no clue where to start, by all means try it!
Great information March 28, 2008

I bought this for my son and his wife, but read quite a bit of it myself. I was impressed with the information on just how AD/HD works in the brain. It cleared up a lot of questions for me. I think it will be helpful to them as well.
