Title: self-help for dummies
Product review: The authors write: "Since one of the hallmarks of ADD is impulsivity, you may buy first and think later. Simply being aware of your tendencies may help. Train yourself to stop and think before buying anything..." [DUH!] "If impulse buying is a problem, you may have to stay out of stores, cut up your credit cards or plan your shopping trips with an empty wallet!" If advice like this is helpful to you, then this book is full of it. I found the information here to be too dumbed-down to be useful. The "simulated subtypes" offered as examples of adult ADDers were not as helpful as the real people testimonials you will find in "Driven to Distraction". If you dont find 12-step programs with their underlying quasi-religious overtones helpful, then this book is not for you.
