Sari Solden specializes in working with ADD adults and their partners. Her first book, Women with Attention Deficit Disorder, has sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide. Now, in Journeys Through ADDulthood, she takes a groundbreaking look at the emotional turmoil often precipitated by ADD and offers listeners roadmaps to richer, happier lives.



Living with ADD affects the development of one's view of self, especially for those not diagnosed until adulthood, after an entire childhood of feeling "different" without knowing why. There are no quick fixes—Solden takes a longer view of the challenges and sees living with ADD as an ongoing internal process. Journeys Through ADDulthood is a step-by-step guide through three stages, or journeys: toward understanding your brain and your primary symptoms; toward discovering your true identity and embracing your uniqueness; and toward learning to share your true self to connect with others. Illuminating her points based on the real-life journeys of two men and two women, Solden offers self-help exercises at the end of each chapter to point the way around common roadblocks on the road to empowerment, self-fulfillment, and the realization of long-buried dreams and goals.©2002 Sari Solden Children's Health Personal Development Personal Success Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships Add Disorder

I’ve listened to a few hours so far and it makes me feel soo much better.
It doesn’t talk endlessly about what it is or why it is. It talks about how to come to terms with it/yourself/your new identity.
Thank goodness.
I have found the recommended texts by Halliwell et so outdated and theoretical whereas this book will support me to move forward in peace with my world and myself.
I hope I enjoy the rest of it as much. But I would say tally recommend it highly the value I’ve already received.
(For 100% balanced review I would add a tiny note: the voice is a little soft and may not appeal to all audiences as much as it works for me. The book otherwise doesn’t appear to me to be geared to any particular group, lots of the examples are of women but not exclusively, & the content is still good!)

I found this book had me stopped still and listening and nodding 'yes that's me!!!' Which was followed by relatable character studies and advice on how to progress along the 'journey' of ADHD. I think I will purchase a hard copy to scribble in and help me keep referring back to where I am on my journey and what I might want to consider next. really helpful.

Everything in this book is so relatable, really felt like I am not alone in this journey and that there are ways to manage ADHD without it detracting from who I am as a person. I have been through all the stages she describes and it is so accurate. I enjoyed it.

Very relatable

I got my ADHD diagnosis aged 45 - I have been medicated for a year. My initial joy at the focus that brings is beginning to wear off as I realise (for me anyway) the medication hasn’t ‘cured’ me. As a result of where I am in my life there are so many amazing things to reflect on in this book, not least the fact that I’m not alone in this new, new way of thinking about myself. The 3 stage journey from diagnosis to acceptance of self was well described and just what I needed to hear. I’m going to listen again cos I missed bits (of course I did!…) I didn’t love the voice performance, a little smooth for my taste as I prefer when the author reads - the anecdotal bits have more meaning (see anything read by Ned Hallowell) On the whole though I totally recommend this to anyone who has been diagnosed later in life for whom the initial shock and/or euphoria has worn off or for those who have realised their childhood struggles persist into adulthood.

Essential listening for the adult with ADHD

For those of us with ADHD, this is an almost impossible book to complete. It's impractical Anna far too long winded. The author's three stages of accepting and finding solutions to ADHD are there somehow amongst the plethora of stories, but that's not what we need. There is far too much navel gazing in this book. I can not recommend it. There are far better books available in this field.

Not impressed.
