Synopsis

If you have attention deficit disorder (ADD), you may act impulsively, daydream, and have trouble focusing, but clinical studies suggest that these same symptoms may make you exceptionally creative, intuitive, and energetic. In fact, many people with ADD claim to have become successful because of their ADD, not in spite of it.

In The Gift of Adult ADD, Lara Honos-Webb adapts the revolutionary approach first introduced in the parenting book The Gift of ADHD to the lives of adults with ADD. Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, this book shows you how to transform symptoms into strengths to improve your relationships, job performance, parenting skills, and overall quality of life. You'll also hear inspiring stories of real people with ADD who have become successful in part because of their ability to meet the challenges of ADD and make the most of its gifts.

It makes a lot of great points and as someone who has some ADD tendency, it forced me to rethink some things. It wasn't particularly well organized, however, and a lot of points were just repeat......more

i enjoyed the first part of this book more than the second part, although i thought that would be the other way around. also, i see why i wasn't able to get through this book the first time i tried to read it. i needed to learn a lot more about adult add (e.g., the managing your adult adhd book) bef......more

Goodreads review by Lara on January 15, 2023

It was a semi helpful book, specially for those suffering with ADD ( ADHD the inattentive type). There were some useful tips, but there are issues that were never addressed. Our educational system is not designed for people with neurodivergent brain, but these people are what we need in the work for......more
