Review by: Keith Brook on Dec. 16, 2012 :
I'm already halfway through this book but had to buy a copy for my friend.

Although this book is quite long, it's broken into bite-sized chunks. Ideal for us ADDers!!

As someone with ADD himself, Doug Puryear shows us strategies that make so much sense and gives us ideas for achieving positive rewards.

My life has changed thanks to this book, so obviously it's highly recommended.
