Dr. Wes Crenshaw offers thirteen principles for successful living
with ADD and ADHD drawn from twenty-two years of experience and
23,000 hours of clinical discussions with hundreds of interesting
clients. Written in an entertaining, conversational style for
readers aged fifteen to thirty, Dr. Wes pulls no punches in
confronting the cognitive, social, emotional, and academic pitfalls
people with ADD face every day. He also helps families, friends,
and romantic partners understand a diagnosis of ADD not as
something to fear or an excuse, but as a first step on the path to
a better tomorrow. His principles include accepting here and now,
living intentionally, making mindful decisions, recognizing and
taking the right path and not just the easy one, wanting rather
than wishing, finding and following life's instructions, managing
crises, taking responsibility, attaining character through radical
honesty, and creating sustainable happiness through organized
thinking and living. Finally, Dr. Wes guides you and your loved
ones in how to better manage relationships, seek a good diagnosis,
utilize therapy, and become your own expert on medication
management. * Have you been diagnosed with ADD or ADHD or do you
suspect you should be? Do you really want to start solving your
many riddles and living a more successful and productive life? This
book is for you. * Does your partner, child, roommate, or friend
have ADD? Do you wonder what's going on in his or her head, and you
really want to understand the secret code so you can better love
him or her? This book is for you. * Are you a little scattered or
organizationally challenged? Do you struggle with details,
follow-through, or in converting ideas into results? Do your people
see you as fun and energetic, but uncommitted and difficult to pin
down. Maybe you're an "ADD-leaner." This book is for you.
