   I have a book on audio cassette, called You mean I,m not lazy, stupid or crazy it,s from 1995 kind of old but still seems  pretty good.I really liked "ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life", by Nadeau and Kolberg, mentioned above.

"A Comprehensive Guide to Attention Deficit Disorder in Adults: Research, Diagnosis, Treatment" by Kathleen Nadeau (1995) is a little older, but one of the best surveys of the field at a deeper level than the popular works.

"The Executive Brain: frontal lobes and the civilized mind", by Elkhonon Goldberg, is a great book that gives insight about the parts of the brain that may work differently in ADDers.

"Getting Things Done", by David Allen, is a great book about a mainstream organizing system that provides strong structure for ADDers in work and personal life. It should give unemployed ADDers some hope that they could succeed in a demanding job.



ADD Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life was darned useful to me
Still crazy about Driven To Distraction,  I just bought a replacement copy for the one I loaned to I dont remember who...

What does everybody else know that I don't?  Michele Novotini -- This book is specific to add and social skills.

The Dark Side of the Light Chasers.  Debbie Ford -  This book is NOT specific to add but helped me to see some of the good stuff from the disasters of my life.

I've only read parts of each of these books, not cover to cover every word.  Several of the parts I read were very useful for me.

 I found a book called "Adult ADD" while at the half-price bookstore not too long ago. Its written in a 'reader friendly' format (or ADD format if you will  ). It was like reading a book about myself.

 Its a little old as the copyright is 1995, but I still found it very informative.
