“As someone who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, this book called out to me, I can’t describe it any differently. And I am massively glad to announce that it did not disappoint. The author masterfully shows he knows what he is talking about by being able to connect information about how people with ADHD think and work, with questions to ask oneself supported by a paragraph with proposed ways to combine both into actions. After a first read, I am now left with a lot of highlighted passages, a course of action, as well as a ton of new(ly connected) knowledge to use and apply in my daily life. I am certain this was not my last read, and I fully intend on revisiting those chapters repeatedly. I am also very thankful for the shift from ADHD as a hindrance to a chance and a skillset that might even prove beneficial”. -- Lauren B

I just finished reading, I love your balance of giving the science and then being authentic. It feels easier to understand that way. I appreciate the example under limited working memory and LOVE the action steps at the end. I love a book that gives me homework 😂 it’s definitely good that you have it broken down into sections due to the various topics and length. It’s set up a good way because this is definitely the kind of book, I would make notes and markings in, so I like it choppy.

“As someone who struggled with ADHD since childhood but was not told until I turned 35 years old. I have spent the last 7 years trying to find ways to help myself, my children and others with ADHD find success. The book starts off with a great quote “To the many with ADHD who fight their private, unseen battles and do extraordinary things on ordinary days.” The author uses the heading like Your ADHD Abilities, A road map to your success, direct your attention, Challenges and more. Each heading in the chapters will help those with ADHD to find direction and the ability to keep their attention throughout the book. Jim Livingstone uses stats, stories, medical, mental health, and clarity that will help readers and those who love individuals with ADHD”.

“I really enjoyed the book, felt it was so structured and gave really practical ideas. My sister has ADHD and so does my husband, is I’m planning to share the ideas with them (neither of them are big readers), so we may just need to focus on the practical elements. Really great read”.

I have been considering getting myself tested for ADHD for a while, so this book made a lot of sense to me. It was the first time when I felt like I was being seen and wasn’t being a weird woman. The author's tips felt like I was talking to a friend about how to improve my life. The summary at the end of each chapter made it easier to keep track of all the knowledge and helped me take notes. I loved this book's easy language and flow I also have a lot of friends and family members who have ADHD, and I am excited to share this excellent book with them. The author’s personal experience and stories made it more amazing to me. I loved how the author talked about using ADHD habits as an advantage to improve life quality. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ADHD or, in general, wishes to learn more about ADHD and ADD. – Shalaka

Really good, and easy to read. It is very informative. Not a boring technical, medical book – Darren SC

ADHD ADDults: The Ultimate Success Manual by Jim Livingstone is exactly what it claims to be. Many children with ADHD have been helped through school and university, but what happens to ADHD children that grow up to be ADHD adults? Everybody assumes that with medication readily available that ADHD children are cured and that they have become thriving adults with no more ADHD problems. Parents of adult children with ADHD and spouses of ADHD adults will tell a completely different story. Jim Livingstone presents a perspective that will speak to non-ADHD people about the challenges faced by adults with ADHD and will find resonance with ADHD adults and the mothers who have trod the path of ADHD. Livingstone shares insight and wisdom gleaned from a lifetime of experience. Now, in his seventies, he describes how being diagnosed at forty-five years of age changed his life and how what he learned he can help other ADHD adults deal with the challenges in their lives and be able to achieve and hold on to success. Jim Livingston wrote ADHD ADDults with adult ADHD sufferers in mind. Looking back on his life, he writes about the obstacles and dangers that could derail the ADHD adult. Writing in a manner that will hold the ADHD reader’s attention, he shares information and affirmations, and visual aids to relieve boredom and reinforce what he is discussing. He teaches that ADHD adults have unique gifts that should be seen as positive rather than negative and that being different is not a disorder. As the mother of a child with ADHD who has now become an adult, it was wonderful to read his insights. I could identify my child’s actions, thought processes, and emotional fluctuations. It is refreshing to finally have something that can explain to others how an ADHD person’s mind and thoughts work, as well as have a guide that can teach my child to be a successful adult with ADHD. ADHD does not have to mean poor relationships or being unable to keep a stable job. Anyone with an opinion on ADHD and adults should read this.
