Product Description
This is the only book on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) written in a structure that caters to the tendency for adults with ADHD to jump around. This essential guidebook begins by describing how the ADHD brain processes information and how that leads to typical challenges that people with ADHD experience, as well as why certain strategies are effective and others aren't. This lays the foundation for everything that follows, from getting diagnosed to an overview of the research of how ADHD affects people's lives. A thorough explanation of standard treatment options-including medication, therapy, and coaching-as well as alternative treatments, helps guide adults with ADHD to get the most from their healthcare providers. From there, the book provides an extensive collection of practical strategies to overcome common struggles in the areas of self-esteem, work, relationships, friendships, parenting, and everyday life. It covers everything from time management to getting organized. Brief, ADHD-friendly articles can stand alone or be read in sequence, making it the perfect book for the busy adult with ADHD who wants rock-solid information that is easily digestible.

The Go-To resource for adults with ADHD/ADD, and their therapists, too! July 2, 2009

The book is superb! It's clear, comprehensive and to-the-point, reflecting the years Dr. Tuckman has spent facilitating CHADD support groups for adults with ADHD. I agree with the previous reviewer - it's a true gift to all of us interested in and affected by ADHD. Plus, he's put great information free for the downloading on the book's site, [...], including a series of podcasts summarizing key points. I routinely recommend the podcasts to my patients with ADHD - it's easy to start off by listening to something short, and great for people who don't like to read or are auditory-preference processors.
With a 'just-right' balance of neuroscience and wisdom-of-experience, compassion and accountability, "More Attention, Less Distraction" outlines how ADHD can be understood, managed, and not be so crazy-making. The advice and strategies are practical and readily applicable. Buy this one first.

More Attention, Less Deficit is the new "Bible" of ADHD. Dr. Tuckman brilliantly maps out strategies and tips while peppering it with facts in a way that makes it interesting and easy for the adult with ADHD to devour in bite-sized pieces. A must-read for all who are touched by ADHD.

I just can't say enough good about this book. It has a wealth of fantastic information for the individual with adult ADHD. At the start of each chapter, there's a summary of the different sections of that chapter. How much more ADHD friendly can you get?
It's very, very clearly written.
Dr. Tuckman's afterward brought tears to my eyes. He talks about all the pain that adult ADHD sufferers (especially those born before the mid 70s) often experience, and how they're often judged -- labeled as lazy, unmotivated, etc. His compassion shows throughout the entire book.
And his counsel and information are solid, not speculative.
This would also be a fantastic gift to give to family members, friends, etc. of someone with adult ADHD. It's highly educational and very clear. Anybody reading it will learn so much.
Thank you, Dr. Tuckman, for this great gift!
Looking for your first book to purchase on ADHD?? This is the ONE! August 9, 2009

If you're looking for your first book to purchase on Adult AD/HD, this is the one! If you're looking for a "must have" to add to your current collection, again- this is the one!
Dr. Tuckman deserves 5 gold stars for developing an insightful book of practical tools and strategies for adults who are challenged with troublesome symptoms of AD/HD. This is a "how to" book.... finally a book of various solutions! The book DOES NOT need to be read from front to back (although, you may not be able to resist doing so), but you can instead look up your particular issue/ challenge and be directed to short and practical tips and strategies.
This is a perfect book for adults with AD/HD to skim through and share certain portions that are applicable to their own "version" of ADD/ADHD with their non-ADHD partners, friends and family. I've recommended it to several couples, and they have come back reporting that the book is excellent and that it provides a vehicle to increased useful discussion and improved understanding of the challenges involved with the disorder.
Dr. Tuckman has provided his expertise in a fashion that is both respectful and incredibly compassionate. If you have AD/HD, after reading the portions of the book that pertain to you- you will feel understood. If you do not have AD/HD, the book will help you to better understand those who do.
Thank you for your contribution, Dr. Tuckman.

Like Mary Poppins,book is perfect in every way! CD/Audio Next? October 28, 2009

I'm ADHD, older (45 plus) and grew up with a heavy reliance on reading through books to do my research. My ADHD son (23) is from a different age. He's more comfortable using his ears, listening to news, music, information in how shall I say... shorter intervals. As much as I may rue - he prefers and pays more attention to almost anything if its delivered verbally. Think of it as extended sound bite. Short of using a tube of super glue to adhere the book to his fingertips and then his back to the wall, if the information in this brilliant volume were included in a CD/Audio format , it would be a second blessing!
