""Bravo! Drs. Knouse and Barkley have written a superb, original book. The authors have adroitly included their wealth of knowledge and experience. I love all the brief chapters in the 'Menu of Moves for Living Well' section. From 'Show Up on Time' to 'Drive Safely,' I've never seen all the major ADHD hot spots addressed so clearly, succinctly, and authoritatively.""--Edward Hallowell, MD, coauthor of Driven to Distraction “Unlike the many ADHD books that focus on neurobiology, this book gives you excellent, immediate help for dealing with common challenges. In an engaging, humorous style, Drs. Knouse and Barkley offer skillful suggestions for addressing specific issues, as well as practical strategies to improve life overall.”--Peg Dawson, EdD, coauthor of Smart but Scattered-
