Adults with ADHD face unique challenges that impact every aspect of life, including work and relationships. This expansion and update of psychologist Abigail Levrini's bestselling book offers realistic, proven strategies to help adults with ADHD lead more fulfilling and productive lives. With her extensive experience researching and treating adults with ADHD, Levrini provides user-friendly strategies for setting meaningful and realistic goals, developing a plan to achieve the goals, and staying on track while following the plan. Slipups are normal and expected, so Levrini invites listeners to keep a positive, growth-oriented outlook that focuses on progress rather than perfection.
Each chapter is full of examples and self-help activities to apply strategies to multiple areas of life. Special attention is given to the areas of executive function that most adults with ADHD seek help for, and to the challenges most important in living a healthy and productive life, including time management, relationships, organization, job performance, and recognizing common coexisting conditions such as depression and anxiety. Stop feeling frustrated by what you are not accomplishing, and start making practical steps toward achieving your goals.
