Narrado por: Wes Crenshaw PhD

Dr. Wes Crenshaw offers thirteen principles for successful living with ADD and ADHD drawn from twenty-two years of experience and 23,000 hours of clinical discussions with hundreds of interesting clients. Written in an entertaining, conversational style for readers aged fifteen to thirty, Dr. Wes pulls no punches in confronting the cognitive, social, emotional, and academic pitfalls people with ADD face every day. He also helps families, friends, and romantic partners understand a diagnosis of ADD not as something to fear or an excuse, but as a first step on the path to a better tomorrow.

His principles include accepting here and now, living intentionally, making mindful decisions, recognizing and taking the right path and not just the easy one, wanting rather than wishing, finding and following life's instructions, managing crises, taking responsibility, attaining character through radical honesty, and creating sustainable happiness through organized thinking and living. Finally, Dr. Wes guides you and your loved ones in how to better manage relationships, seek a good diagnosis, utilize therapy, and become your own expert on medication management.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Well-written no nonsense approach to dealing with ADHD. I think I may be a leaner.

Good guidance for livig a more intentional way.

Dr. Wes writes a very straight forward book to a more productive and pleasant life for those who struggle in life with ADHD. He had a good formula with his examples and then advice.

Do not buy audio version

The cadence used by the narrator made following along impossible. It's almost as if the reader goes out of his way to underscore how add affects listening.

Great content Horrible narration

What made the experience of listening to I Always Want to Be Where I'm Not the most enjoyable?

The content of this book is very interesting and relevant. However..Wes should have got someone else to narrate this book for him. Very choppy narration which is hard to listen to.
Sorry Wes.

Great listen, very helpful

Great info, I wish there was more on relationships and ADHD. This just might allow my wife and I to save our marriage.

highly recomend

worth every dollar detailed and strategic in approach. it's not soft but tough on the person with ADD or ADHD and fair in regards to the matter

A great book on ADHD

Has lots of practical advice, and not only the recommendation to get on medication. Highly recommended!

Fantastic!!

One of my favorite ADHD books so far! There's no coddling and I love it!

Loved the formatting of the book

This book is great for those who think they might have ADD/ADHD. For anybody questioning if this could be them listening to the different stories of people in this book who do have ADD/ADHD will give you a much clearer idea of what it is like and allows you to question your own behavior.

Eye-Opening Analysis and Strategies

The author provides great insight into the mindset and wiring of the ADD/ADHD mind. The symptoms, scenarios, and strategies were meaningful and practical.
I think it is a great book for people who have the. disorder, those who think they have the disorder and those who have the disorder, but don't acknowledge it.
It provides great food for thought and the importance of addressing it and doing something about it.
