Discover the keys to embracing your ADHD strengths and quirks with Extra Focus.

This book isn't a stuffy, clinical rundown of ADHD. It's more like a friendly chat over coffee with a good friend who gets it. We'll unravel some of the myths and mysteries of the ADHD mind, learn why most self-help strategies don't work for us, and how we can develop strategies that work with our brain instead of against it.

Written by an adult with ADHD for adults with ADHD, this empowering book provides the compassionate understanding and practical strategies you need to stop struggling and start thriving.

Jesse J. Anderson draws from his personal journey of being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult to offer encouragement, motivation, and strategies tailored for ADHD brains.

You'll discover:

The 4 Cs of Motivation framework for driving action and building momentum
Practical tips for developing habits and routines that don't feel like cruel and unusual punishment
Tips for managing your energy and avoiding ADHD burnout
Navigating the clockless mind, including strategies for time estimation and managing chronic lateness
Memory techniques to stop losing track of tasks, ideas, and your car keys
Strategies for coping with success amnesia, imposter syndrome, rejection sensitivity, and shame spirals

​​​​​​​Extra Focus is your personal roadmap to understanding and living with adult ADHD. It's a no-judgement zone filled with understanding and guidance from someone who understands what it's like to live with ADHD (in a world that doesn't seem to understand it).

Written in a warm, down-to-earth style, Extra Focus serves as an essential guide to understanding your neurodivergence and taking control of your ADHD rather than letting it control you. Find motivation in understanding how your brain works. Discover brain hacks that make productivity and organization feel possible.

Stop struggling and start thriving with the empowering wisdom of Extra Focus. It's your quick start guide to living a happier, more focused, and truly rewarding life with adult ADHD.

Um excelente livro para quem quer saber mais sobre TDAH ou acabou de receber o diagnóstico, mas meio que mais do mesmo para quem já acompanha discussões mais de perto. O título não mente: é mesmo um start guide.
