Overview
Stop feeling frustrated by what you are not accomplishing and start making practical steps toward achieving your goals. This expanded and updated new edition of psychologist Abigail Levrini's bestselling book offers realistic, proven strategies to help adults with ADHD lead more fulfilling and productive lives. With her extensive experience researching and treating adults with ADHD, Levrini provides user‑friendly strategies for setting meaningful and realistic goals, developing a plan to achieve the goals, and staying on track while following the plan. Slip‑ups are normal and expected, so Levrini invites readers to keep a positive, growth‑oriented outlook that focuses on progress, rather than perfection. Each chapter is full of examples and self‑help activities, such as quizzes and worksheets, enabling readers to apply strategies to multiple areas of life. Special attention is given to the areas of executive function that most adults with ADHD seek help for, and to typical challenges in living a healthy and productive life, including time management, relationships, organization, job performance, and recognizing common coexisting conditions such as depression and anxiety.

Reviews
It was difficult to imagine how the original Succeeding With Adult ADHD could be improved upon, but Levrini pulled it off with flying colors. This magnificent updated edition is a treasure trove of helpful skills and strategies designed for adults with ADHD and, more important, methods for personalizing the skills and strategies to put them to use in your daily life to achieve positive results. It will continue to be one of the go-to recommended readings in our program. -- J. Russell Ramsay, PhD, ABPP, clinical director, University of Pennsylvania Adult ADHD Treatment and Research Program, Philadelphia, and author of The Adult ADHD Tool Kit: Using CBT to Facilitate Coping Inside and Out and Rethinking Adult ADHD: Helping Clients Turn Intentions Into Actions There is so much wisdom under the surface of Succeeding With Adult ADHD. Dr. Levrini won’t bore you with the details, but her advice and strategies have what it takes to actually work. She knows her stuff, and you will be better off for it! -- Ari Tuckman, PsyD, CST, author of ADHD After Dark: Better Sex Life, Better Relationship Abigail Levrini 'gets' ADHD. She understands its upsides, but she also knows its downsides intimately, in the same way she knows her own closets and other mess piles. Best of all, through years of experience in the trenches, she’s come up with practical solutions on how to right the ship, worded so they don’t sound like psycho-nagging but rather like what a good and trusted friend who knows you well would recommend. -- Edward Hallowell, MD, author of Driven to Distraction and ADHD 2.0
