Customer Reviews

Superb book!! Should be at the TOP of every ADHD/ADD reading list!!

Many, if not most, people do not truly understand ADD, what it is, how it feels, what causes it, and what it causes. This superb book is the answer. The reviewer who complained that the summary was 35 pages long and restated everything pertinent in the book clearly doesn't have ADD. Approximately 80% of the risk of having ADD is genetic, which means that a substantial number of parents reading the book also have ADD. Dr. Kutscher appreciated the difficulty most people with ADD have in finishing a book or remembering what they read and no doubt wrote the summary for them. As a parent with ADD, the summary is a gift. I highly recommend this book not only to parents, but also to anyone with ADD and to anyone who wants a true understanding of ADD.

ADHD- Living Without Brakes

This is a very informative & understandable read for parents & educators of children with ADHD. It gives a lot of useful interventions that are easy to set up. It's a great resource for those CSE meetings to determine if your child qualifies for any help or adjustments in how his work is review & graded. I would recommend this to any parent who is navigating the Special Education & 504 Maze.

One of the best!

I own literally dozens of books on ADHD and have read dozens more. This slim book (only about 125 pages) is absolutely one of the best. I ordered it on the recommendation of a friend and when it arrived I was disappointed to see such a thin book. How could it add anything I didn't already know? Well, it did! It sums up the latest in scientific approaches to ADHD, de-bunks the myths and presents it all as clearly and concisely as I have ever seen. An excellent investment!

Thank you, Dr. Kutscher!!

An excellent, concise, no-nonsense, inspirational book. Superb as both resource and guide to help us do just what we want to: LIVE RIGHT NOW! Thank you very much indeed, Dr. Kutscher.

Excellent Resource

This book is easy to understand for the layman or professional. It addresses everyday problems and how to deal with them by a doctor who is not only intelligent, but compassionate.
