Discover the keys to embracing your ADHD strengths and quirks with Extra Focus.
This book isn't a stuffy, clinical rundown of ADHD. It's more like a friendly chat over coffee with a good friend who gets it. We'll unravel some of the myths and mysteries of the ADHD mind, learn why most self-help strategies don't work for us, and how we can develop strategies that work with our brain instead of against it.
Written by an adult with ADHD for adults with ADHD, this empowering book provides the compassionate understanding and practical strategies you need to stop struggling and start thriving.
Jesse J. Anderson draws from his personal journey of being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult to offer encouragement, motivation, and strategies tailored for ADHD brains.
You’ll discover:
- The 4 Cs of Motivation framework for driving action and building momentum
- Practical advice for developing habits and routines that don't feel like cruel and unusual punishment
