He gives excellent guidance and basic strategies for coping with the condition and I found the book easy to read and often inspirational.However, 2 things :First, it is very much centred around hyperactivity/impulsivity and if you have only inattention there are large parts that are pretty much irrelevant. Dr Barkley's non-identical twin brother had seriously hyperactive aADHD and I think this informs a lot of his involvement with this subject. Early on in the book he states that the book does NOT cater for inattentive types but this should be stated on the cover so people don't waste time and money. He also mentions that recent research seems to indicate Inattentive Variant Adult ADHD might be a totally separate condtion called SCT but then fails to offer any pointers as to where you could go for further help.Second, he does disclose the fact that he is sponsored by several drug companies but I can't help feeling that this must compromise his integrity a little. He is VERY enthusiastic about drug therapies but even though I personally know many people whose lives are transformed by them, his writing is undermined because of this financial vector. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ignore bad reviews if you want actual change *by D***E on 18 August 2021* The bad reviews of this book seem to be from people who aren’t prepared to accept how catastrophically negative and damaging ADHD behaviours can be. If like me, you are fully prepared to accept responsibility for these behaviours and fully face them (hard as that sometimes is) then this book will reward you with the tools to make changes. This book is not negative, it’s just evidence based and factual and does exactly what it claims in the title. If you are ready to own your condition and learn how to manage it then this book is perfect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for those just Diagnosed *by A***S on 17 April 2017* Good book for people who are newly diagnosed such as my self providing reassurance by simple advice and easy to follow thinking and self help steps. The books is some what distant for people such as my self in the UK for the fact that it follows the American style of treatment and help however the lifestyle changes and day to day tips can be used anywhere. Truly a good book for people seeking to come to terms with ADHD or for people who live or work with people with ADHD a great all round book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Taking Charge of Adult ADHD - Taking Charge of Adult ADHD: Proven Strategies to Succeed at Work, at Home, and in Relationships - You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!: The Classic Self-Help Book for Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder (The Classic Self-Help Book for Adults w/ Attention Deficit Disorder) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/49035229-taking-charge-of-adult-adhd-proven-strategies-to-succeed-at](https://www.desertcart.us/products/49035229-taking-charge-of-adult-adhd-proven-strategies-to-succeed-at) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
