Summary
Now updated with edited narration for listening ease.
In Focused Forward: Navigating the Storms of Adult ADHD, author and self-proclaimed "ADHD-er" James M. Ochoa, LPC, goes beyond the management and scheduling techniques most ADHD books focus on to deal with what really holds so many ADHD-ers back - the emotional fallout of ADHD. He helps listeners identify, manage, and alleviate symptoms of a PTSD-like condition he calls emotional distress syndrome, with practical, proven advice including:
- Understanding the link between ADHD and emotional distress
- What emotional distress syndrome (EDS) feels like
- How to construct an emotional safe place
- How to recruit your own me support group
- Eight essential tools to help you cope
- And more....
With wisdom, humor, and plenty of (sometimes painful) empathy, Focused Forward will help adults with ADHD move past the pain and shame toward a future full of possibility, balance, and joy.

From a wise ADHDer to newly diagnosed ADHDer.
If you've recently been diagnosed or you've never really looked into ADHD, this book is a great start.

The best and most helpful ADHD book i have read.
I've got ADHD so it wont be the longest review! But this book has been the most helpful and intelligent book i have ever listen to and has changed my life with regards to how i feel about myself and with how i cope with my life. I am much happier and productive then i was before still with struggles sometimes but now with a stratigues and an anchor. Listen to it. it can be hard to get through it because so much good infomation but well worth it.

I lasted about 15 minutes
I don't like leaving negative reviews, but I have to share my experience with this. The book itself might be great, I will possibly buy the book to read another time, but the narration was horrible. Every parentheses and bullet point was detailed - which is fine for the occasional one, but when the reader was going through what seemed to be quite a long bullet pointed list, and every item started with 'bullet point', it drove me absolutely to distraction, and I had to turn it off. A shame, because the book itself seemed really good and exactly what i needed to hear. I'd really recommend a re-recording without the need to explain evvery bullet point, there really is no need.
