| Professional Review: |
With over a quarter million copies in print, You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?! is one of the bestselling books on attention deficit disorder (ADD) ever written. There is a great deal of literature about children with ADD. But what do you do if you have ADD and aren't a child anymore? This indispensable reference -- the first of its kind written for adults with ADD by adults with ADD -- focuses on the experiences of adults, offering updated information, practical how-tos and moral support to help readers deal with ADD. It also explains the diagnostic process that distinguishes ADD symptoms from normal lapses in memory, lack of concentration or impulsive behavior. Here's what's new:
And the book still includes advice about:

 Written on May 13, 2008 Summary: I really wanted to like this An OK book, but I wouldn't recommend it as your first book to read on ADD. Better to check out Delivered From Distraction. I really wanted to like this book. The authors seem like nice, dedicated people. But I found little of use in the book, except for the last few chapters. I've noticed that I have this problem with ADD books written by people with ADD: but where Dr. Hallowell's book is also piecemeal and all over the place, he gives you important information, and things you can use. There was a little of that in this book, but I feel the authors spend way too much time urging the reader that it's OK to have ADD, and it doesn't make them Lazy, Stupid, or Crazy. I knew that going in: I want to learn about effective strategies and skills to deal with ADD's challenges. Like some other ADD books, there's a ton of buildup and anecdote, leaving me wanting more. This book could be 30 % shorter, and still provide the helpful information that it provides. A little too breezy a style for this ADD reader who needs it in digestible chunks.  Written on May 9, 2008 Summary: Strictly states the obvious. More a confirmation. Before I got this book, I read the reviews. They were all good reviews. But, after reading the book....I think most of the readers missed something. This book is great for confirming a suspicion that you may have ADD. But, doesn't really help you on any other level. Some of the info is even slanted toward the female side of things. (Which, being written by two women it would be, somewhat). But, in some points of the book you get that, "women have it much harder than men", feeling. Which is a real turn off for those of us (MEN) that have had it SO very hard trying to exist with this "deficit"! Much of the medications that are prescribed for ADD have a laundry list of side effects. I was prescribed several pills years ago and lost memory of the entire time frame as the drugs effect your memory! I went off the meds and have never returned. But, it is a very tough life without them. I gave the book two stars because it only confirms a suspicion. It doesn't go anywhere as far as "help". You will need to look elsewhere. It didn't discuss "job hopping". Which is a MAJOR problem for ADDers. I would have thought that would have had a whole chapter. It got a mere mention! This was very short sighted. So again; Great for confirming your suspicions. But, little else.  Written on May 2, 2008 Summary: GREAT SERVICE Not only did the book come in great condition and a timely manner, the seller was willing to point out other books that would be of help to me on the subject I was dealing with. Written on April 25, 2008 Summary: 2008 updated edition Although the original is the book I began with, the updated version is just as great!! As with anyone newly diagnosed knows, any tidbits that can be read and also applied to yourself immediately and with great humor, it is of utmost importance to be able to use humor along with other tools to live your life happily with adhd. After deciding to head out in search of information after my diagnosis at age 38 (2 years ago, along with my then 11 year old daughter) this is one of the books that I fortunately stumbled upon. After leaving B&N with probably 20 different books (read hyperfocused on finding **all info**LOL) this is one of the first I read. I felt so much better and had such a better way to visualize myself. Learning to not see myself in such a negative manner has literally been **lifesaving**. The other most ULTIMATE book that really had the descriptions of what it is to be a woman with add/adhd is "Women with attention deficit disorder" written by Sari Solden. A MUST READ!!!Now i'm happy to be "adhd"!!!!!! Written on March 24, 2008 Summary: Awesome! Great book! I found myself saying "wow! that's me!!" over and over! Life with ADD has become much easier after reading the book. It all makes sense now! |
