I finally know why I see things differently!

If you have ADD, or someone close to you does, read this book. After I read it, I had my wife read it. Know she understands why I do the things I do. This book has been very helpful. --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title.

NOT worth the money

I felt that the book was a bit basic for my needs ,as an A-ADD person.Much too much of the same old things.I would not ,and could not,suggest this "self-help book. --This text refers to the paperback edition of this title.
