Product Description
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 readers roadmaps to richer, happier lives.Although most commonly associated with children, attention deficit disorder (ADD or AD/HD) affects the lives of between 8 and 10 million American adults. Even years after diagnosis, many adults still feel discouraged because treatments tend to focus exclusively on managing or overcoming the symptoms of ADD rather than on teaching patients to lead a fulfilling life despite these differences. Sari Solden, who struggles with ADD and these issues herself, has spent the past twelve years focusing her work on the emotional challenges men and women face with ADD in their lives. Journeys Through ADDulthood is her profoundly empathetic and inspiring guide to living a rich and full life even as the effects of ADD remain. 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. |

Thak you for hope! by Krista Barker (Atlanta, GA)  5 Stars
June 17, 2009
I have read and listened to so many books on ADD/ADHD that I felt discouraged and ripped off. Too many offer the same clinical blah that is only short term help or self diagnoses. Most other books are photocopied, repetitive, text book junk. This is one of only a few that deal with the personal struggles that accompany ADD and the path to long term success. I would like to personally thank Sari Solden for her books. I am 36 years old male who's struggled my entire life with the ups and downs of this disorder. With her help I have finnyly been able to see there is no one answer or path for everyone. With out this book i would not pushed as hard to find the right counsoler and Dr.. I would also emphasize more than anyone thing that having a consoler and Dr. who specialize in ADHD (not your family Dr.) is essential.
In short this book can be the beginning of the life you thought you could never have.

Beyond the normal ADD book by Jane Dough (California) 5 Stars
November 17, 2008
This book goes beyond the normal ADD books. It helps you deal with life after the diagnosis and getting on medication. How you deal with the emotions of low self esteem, not ever being good enough etc. Then how to live so that others can see you as a different person. Different that you were before you found the REAL you underneath all those annoying ADD traits.

Helps understand the ups and downs of the change process by K. Varness 5 Stars
October 06, 2008
Sari Solden takes readers through the change process with sensitivity and honesty. Unlike other books about AD/HD that explain what it is, this books deals with the different stages people go through in accepting their diagnoses, reaching out for help, and finding their value as whole people, not just as ADDers. This is a good book to read after you have gotten the initial medical information about AD/HD and need to process what it means. Really, this book can be useful for anyone in a period of identity transition.
