Insightful AND Practical July 29, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Both my husband and I are chronically disorganized, but in different ways. This book has sections for ADD, procrastinators, etc. So you can focus in on the section that most applies to you and get great ideas to road test in your own life. There are so many ideas that if one doesn't work, you can just chuck it and try another one. The list of 3 is what has worked for me. Instead of making a list of the 42 things I want to do today and getting overwhelmed, I just write down 3 things. When I finish that list of 3, I get to make a new list. Simple and effective. Good luck!

Well Done! After anticipation of Nancy Ratey's Disorganized Mind to finally go to print, I was very pleased that it was better than I imagined. I am an adult with ADHD and I am an ADHD Coach. I also have a learning center. Many of my clients are ADHD. I have found this book to be a work of art. I use work of art because this is like the ADHD brain. Those who have ADHD and get help by reading books like this one, can be very creative and successful people. It was also very useful to learn about others who experience this disorder. I think The Disorganized Mind
is a perfect book for anyone with ADHD or if you know someone who is. The author gives a lot of strategies and ways to help organize your life. She also gives practical and concrete techniques on "HOW TO" self- coach. This is what I strive for with my clients. The beauty of coaching is that it is customized for each individual. For instance, if you want a reminder every day for completion of specific tasks three tasks, a brief daily call or text message is perfect. On the other hand, if you are changing jobs or deciding on courses for fall semester, you might need more time twice a week. I highly recommend Nancy Ratey's book, whether you are newly diagnosed or you have been struggling with the disorder for a long time. She gives hope to those of us who are dealing with ADHD. Many Thanks!

Ms Ratey's book is inspirational!!. I plan to follow her strategies in order to help me thrive as an adult with adhd... both in my personal and professional realms. What a relief to know I am not alone in my struggles and that someone as talented as she is willing to share her knowledge with the rest of us out here who are desperately trying to find help to perform to our potential.

The Disorganized Mind is an AMAZING book, and is great for people with and without ADHD. This is the kind of book that anyone in any kind of position can benefit from, because everyone can always improve at something. You can use this kind of book to refer to forever. I've read many books on ADHD, and I've found this one to be the most helpful by far. I've owned the book for about three weeks and I'm already seeing improvements in my life. This book is very easy to read, and the strategies are very simple to follow. You only need a little bit of will to change to make it with this book. It's very nice to see a professional who went to Harvard, and has struggled with ADHD problems too (the author). Most Americans like quick fixes, and they are usually not as successful as they could be. Well, I'm finding this book to be a quick fix, but with some structure to go along with that. There are many things in this book that I could relate too, and I'm sure a lot of other people could relate too also. I'm working toward getting a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, and this book will be a tool with me along my journey, forever. READ THIS BOOK PEOPLE!!
Outstanding Resource! July 8, 2008

As an AD/HD Coach and Family Team Builder I have to say this is a terrific resource for Coaches as well as AD/HD Sufferers themselves! All the important information is there and easily available to the reader. Specific and immediately useful action steps are clearly outlined and presented in a way that makes sense to the brain with AD/HD.
My only "fear" is that it may take away some of my clients who may want to take charge of their own treatment. They really could do it with this book!
Of course, that's our goal, to get our clients to make it on their own, and Nancy's book will do just that!
I'll be getting several for gifting and using and have recommended it to my clients.
