“Instead of hearing from doctors, I always like and want to learn more from former ADHD patients. It makes it easier for me to comprehend the neurodevelopmental condition known as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in a better way.
Jim Livingstone’s book ADHD ADDults, which describes his battle with ADHD and how he conquered it to live a healthy life, is just the right kind of book for me. The book shows that the author’s success in conquering ADHD wasn’t reliant only on therapy and medication. He had to change his way of life as well.
Jim Livingstone shows that having a so-called “Guru” is not necessary; only sound guidance is. The book is an excellent tool for helping you sift through the overwhelming online nonsense on ADHD. It provides detailed instructions and a positive approach to improving your condition.
Jim demonstrates that altering one’s mindset is possibly the most crucial change that must be made. You might be held back by ADHD, which would limit your potential. The author explains how he accepted his distinctive way of thinking and came to see his ADHD as a strength rather than a limitation. He shows that hyperfocus could be an asset in certain situations and that your creativity and spontaneity are qualities that set you apart.
One of the strengths of this book is the author’s focus on the positive aspects of ADHD. While acknowledging the difficulties that can come with the disorder, they also highlight the strengths and talents that many people with ADHD possess, such as creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience.
The book includes practical tips for managing ADHD symptoms, such as setting up routines and structures to help with organization and time management. It also discusses the different treatment options available, including medication, therapy, and lifestyle changes.
Overall, ADHD ADDults is an informative and compassionate book that offers valuable insights into ADHD. It is a must-read for anyone who has ADHD or knows someone who does.

“As someone who struggled with ADHD since childhood but was not told until I turned 35 years old. I have spent the last 7 years trying to find ways to help myself, my children and others with ADHD find success.
The book starts off with a great quote “To the many with ADHD who fight their private, unseen battles and do extraordinary things on ordinary days.” The author uses the heading like Your ADHD Abilities, A road map to your success, direct your attention, Challenges and more.
Each heading in the chapters will help those with ADHD to find direction and the ability to keep their attention throughout the book.
Jim Livingstone uses stats, stories, medical, mental health, and clarity that will help readers and those who love individuals with ADHD”.

“I really enjoyed the book, felt it was so structured and gave really practical ideas. My sister has ADHD and so does my husband, so I’m planning to share the ideas with them (neither of them are big readers), so we may just need to focus on the practical elements. Really great read”.

“As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, this book called out to me, I can’t describe it any differently. And I am massively glad to announce that it did not disappoint. The author masterfully shows he knows what he is talking about by being able to connect information about how people with ADHD think and work, with questions to ask oneself supported by a paragraph with proposed ways to combine both into actions. After a first read, I am now left with a lot of highlighted passages, a course of action, as well as a ton of new(ly connected) knowledge to use and apply in my daily life. I am certain this was not my last read, and I fully intend on revisiting those chapters repeatedly. I am also very thankful for the shift from ADHD as a hindrance to a chance and a skillset that might even prove beneficial.”

“I just finished reading, I love your balance of giving the science and then being authentic. It feels easier to understand that way. I appreciate the example under limited working memory and LOVE the action steps at the end. I love a book that gives me homework 😂 it’s definitely good that you have it broken down into sections due to the various topics and length. It’s set up a good way because this is definitely the kind of book, I would make notes and markings in, so I like it choppy”.

“I have been considering getting myself tested for ADHD for a while, so this book made a lot of sense to me. It was the first time when I felt like I was being seen and wasn’t being a weird woman. The author’s tips felt like I was talking to a friend about how to improve my life.The summary at the end of each chapter made it easier to keep track of all the knowledge and helped me take notes. I loved this book’s easy language and flow
I also have a lot of friends and family members who have ADHD, and I am excited to share this excellent book with them. The author’s personal experience and stories made it more amazing to me. I loved how the author talked about using ADHD habits as an advantage to improve life quality.
Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ADHD or, in general, wishes to learn more about ADHD and ADD”.

After a lifetime of being analyzed by many psychiatrists and educators who specialize in the field, I can say with a tremendous amount of confidence that I do not have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. However, I have spent a great deal of time around individuals who do and suspect that some of my relatives might. Therefore, I’m always curious when I see a book on the subject.
Accordingly, ADHD Adults: The Ultimate Success Manual caught my attention. What I found was a competently written, well-structured, compassionate piece that could serve as an enormous help to anyone who struggles with this unique situation.
The book is intended for adults, but it would not be a stretch to say that parents of children with ADHD can extrapolate some of its insights to help their offspring. The author writes in a confessional manner documenting his struggles with ADHD and the means he has used to manage it in a productive way that have allowed him to emerge as a success in life.He gives a detailed, illuminating, and quite interesting breakdown of what ADHD is, how it affects those who have it, the challenges it presents, and the ways it can be utilized to achieve positive things. (I could not help but think of Michael Phelps and Tom Cruise when reading about its beneficial effects.) He also demonstrates deep empathy for his readers by showing how hard it can be to live with ADHD through various examples.
Finally, he presents to his readers the strategies, tactics, and methods that he has employed that have been helpful to him in making his ADHD work for him in a good way, which he believes they should use and which can offer them a great deal of hope.
There was truly nothing wrong that I could find with ADHD Adults: The Ultimate Success Manual. It is well thought out and seems to achieve its aims very well. But, I do wish it were a little longer because it appeared that there were some intriguing areas that it could have delved deeper into. Furthermore, as with all self-help books, one should not pick it up believing that it is the gospel or the be all, end-all answer to living with ADHD because nothing in this world is. Still, the book can serve as an extraordinary resource and whatever deficiencies it might contain do not detract from that.
So, if you are an adult who suffers from ADHD, you should read this book. It is almost bound to help you. If you’re a friend or relative of one who might benefit from this book, you should read it too and recommend it, because it could certainly help him or her. Or if you’re just one who is curious about ADHD and what those who have it can do to make their lives better, you should read it as well. It could be a great aid to a great many people.
