Book Review: consider buying it
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi this is my first review and i'm reading alot of adhd books lately. This book is about social skills, the skills that may not have been learnt easily when you have adhd. In fact after reading this book I felt like an alien learning the rules that everyone knew and realise how I was alienating everyone else with my adhd symptoms. What I liked about this book was it was quite helpful. The information is very simplistic, yet there is a difference between understanding the information and actually knowing it, meaning practicing it. I like to use a metaphor to explain things quicker about this book. It's like sports for example, you have rules to follow, you are expected to know it, or you would get fouled out and you won't even be in the next game. Learn the simple rules first dispite it's decieving simplicity, then get better at the game later when you know what your doing. Real life is not a game, you will get isolated extremely quickly not knowing the social rules. I wish I knew the rules before though, there aren't too many books with this content since your all suppose to know it.
So what I liked about this book was there was a check list of all the skills you are suppose to practice, exercises and a summary at the end of a chapter. My complaits are it has too many pages, I can only read so much and stuff not relating to social skills yet adhd is not that great compared to other books.
I conclude that this is a good book for it's purpose, it's necessary, I couldn't figure all these rules myself before. Also I realise if you are in business for adult adhd, or working, you won't suceed without social skills even if you learnt everything else from other adhd books with different topics about adhd. I want you to really consider this book, I found it extremely helpful and necessary. I'm starting to apply it now, I feel more aware of my social mistakes, I thank the author for writing this book.
