Synopsis

For the millions of adults diagnosed with ADHD, The Disorganized Mind will provide expert guidance on what they can do to make the most of their lives. The inattention, time-mismanagement, procrastination, impulsivity, distractibility, and difficulty with transitions that often go hand-in-hand with ADHD can be overcome with the unique approach that Nancy Ratey brings to turning these behaviors around.

The Disorganized Mind addresses the common issues confronted by the ADHD adult:

"Where did the time go?"
"I'll do it later, I always work better under pressure anyway."
"I'll just check my e-mail one more time before the meeting . . ."
"I'll pay the bills tomorrow—that will give me time to find them."

Professional ADHD coach and expert Nancy Ratey helps listeners better understand why their ADHD is getting in their way and what they can do about it.

Goodreads review by Lisa on July 22, 2014

If you think someone with ADHD writing about ADHD, aimed at an audience who have ADHD would be a colossal mess. You would be right. Ratey meanders from topic to topic such as she will spend a paragraph discussing how terrible her dyslexia and ADHD are and hurting her academic life, then OMG. SHE GOT I......more

Goodreads review by Dan on April 18, 2018

I can safely say that this book does have some helpful suggestions for compensatory strategies. However, all of these are cast through the lens of the author's "clients;" all of which are upper-middle class/top earner types who can afford an ADHD coach. Expect to hear long-winded tales of people who......more

Goodreads review by Laura on September 04, 2017

I listened to the audiobook version, and would have skipped much of the author's initial biographical story if I'd been reading a visual version. That information was fine, but it could've been much shorter, and she had good qualifications and experience that I trusted right away. I found her client......more

I read this to get insights into the thoughts of one of my loved ones with late diagnosis ADD, and what I learned was as much about me as them. One of the insights here is, not surprisingly, that dealing with the dimension of time can be difficult for those with ADHD. The author provides a number of......more
