Average Rating:
Rating: - If you've been diagnosed with, or someone has ever kidded that you have ADD or ADHD, then run out and purchase this book!
The book hit the nail on the head for me! It was as if Nancy Ratey, herself diagnosed with ADHD, was living inside my personal and business world. Nancy touches on the diagnoses and the misdiagnoses but does not delve into the actual treatment. She merely explores the many ways that people with ADHD can help themselves through coaching and self-coaching.
Rating: - Definitely "ADD" /HD to your library
I have not had any formal diagnosis of having ADHD (have 2 children that have), but after reading "the disorganized mind", I am certainly considering the possibility. As I gradually read through each chapter, I have had many "ah" type moments. I can identify with so many of Nancy Ratey's client examples. And this is why I would highly recommend this book. The way Nancy has chosen to write the book kept me curious from one chapter to the next and has helped me to understand I need to continue to learn ... Read More

Rating: - This is not another "one size fits all" book!
If you are even looking this far -- just buy it.For the past 20+ years I have read everything I can get my hands on.Instead of boring explanations about why my brain works the way it does, this gives positive reinforcement and very concrete strategies.This book is for intelligent people who need a "jump start."I like that the author recognizes there are "different strokes for different folks" instead of lumping everybody together.There are 3 ADHD adults in my house and we each found good strategies ...

- Spend money on a coach NOT this book
I pretty much buy every new book on ADHD that comes out, and this book is a waste of money!
It reads like a psychology text--all case studies.Snooze!Not ADHD friendly--all black and white, long text blocks, no illustrations.
Here's the advice in a nutshell: figure out what works for you (audible cues, notes, having people remind you) and repeat until it sticks.Find someone to help you (assuming you can afford to/live with someone willing/have employees) and "train" them to do what ... Read More
