- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I thought the author did a good job of breaking down and explaining some of the science behind ADHD . I liked some of the organizational and functional skills he suggests twords the end of the book too.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Lot’s of really interesting and useful info. For those struggling with the narrator, I increased the listening speed to 1.8x, and that helped significantly.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5If you can get through this book you probably don't have ADHD. This book deserves 0 stars, which isn't an option. The entire first half is the most drawn-out, repetitive nonsense about getting a diagnoses and all of the various symptoms over and over and over. I forced myself to suffer through it just in case there was something important and other than learning about a few symptoms in the first chapter I didn't know were related, it was so gruelling I almost couldn't make it.
The narrator also reads so painfully slowly I had to have it on 1.5x speed when I normally can't go over 1.2x. It also wasn't formatted for an audiobook at all, so some of the information is presented in a super confusing way.
Then when I did get to the "tips" section they were things I was doing for myself before ever knowing I had ADHD, so completely useless. There was also one part where the author brings up and makes comparisons to wheelchair users and the entire chunk just felt vaguely ableist. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Being diagnosed at age 18 with depression, anxiety and ADHD after flunking out of college- this book was both reliving and empowering to listen to. Amazing insight in to the ADHD mind helped me learn so much about myself and my behavior that makes me and other around me unhappy, as well as ways to help those behaviors that I find debilitating and destructive. As well as made me feel a better hearing that I’m not alone I’m forgetting to pay bills- getting utilities shut off- having my partner be unhappy and unsatisfied as well as leaving me unhappy and unsatisfied with the way I live my life.
I feel much better after listening to this and feel even more motivated and informed on what to do to start living the life I want and deserve (as well as for my partner!) - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Comprehensive and easy to read, with los of a of useful information
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very helpful book to listen to right after my diagnosis at age 28. Definitely recommend!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The content is great. The narrator is boring. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish the audiobook.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Content is excellent, naturally, but I'm afraid the audio / reader tone is less than ideal. I hate to suggest that it is read in a 'droning' way, monotonous, and some words are essentially misread or poorly pronounced. Sentences with questions at the end are read as if they are a statement. In essence, Dr Barkley is trying to educate with this book, to 'sell' the idea of ADHD in adults, so the reader's tone should reflect that. Knowing the excellence of Russell Barkley's work, and having watched his energizing videos on YouTube, it is a shame that this is not read in a similar tone. This sort of undermines his 'brand', although that is probably not a high priority for Dr Barkley.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It's nearly impossible for a person with ADHD to actually finish. Long, boring and not engaging at all. But otherwise, it does have useful information.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I don’t have ADHD and I can’t focus on what the narrator says. Not the right choice for a book like this. Info is good though
