Odd One Out: The Maverick's Guide to Adult ADD
Absolutely the best book I have read on dealing with Adult Add and all the ups and downs and little perks we all have. Jennifer gave me great hope and encouragement for the future in all ways...I would highly highly recommend this book to others struggling with this disorder...

I read this book in one sitting and found it to be very appealing yet simple and to the point. Jennifer has a way of clearly communicating the symptoms while encouraging useful solutions. Along the way she clearly identifies the obstacles that often contribute to ADHDers accomplishing goals. I liked her style and straight forward approach with little nonsense.

For those with ADD, Jennifer Koretsky offers solutions in "Odd One Out" for living with the challenges of ADD. Embracing simplicity, breaking the cycle of overwhelm and better organization through planning the time to plan are straight forward concepts the reader can put into action immediately for results.
For ADD outsiders, maverick Koretsky offers a glimpse into life within the world of ADD for better understanding and communication. Not exclusive advice for only those with ADD, her principles for simplification for a happier life are good reading for all.

This book is clearly written from and for the perspective of an extroverted, upwardly mobile class of people living with adult AD(H)D. For those who have suffered from more than being late to business meetings and having a messy desk, it falls a little short. While the author shows some keen insights on what we commonly deal with, she often speaks and writes as though it manifests in the same way in all people. Spelling errors and murky phrasing suggest that more careful editing was needed, but it gave it an "ADD moments" charm for me.
That said, I expect that any adult with AD(H)D will find validation, helpful suggestions, and an uncommon candor for the BS we often encounter in society. Few others have touched on the intense guilt and shame that often cripple people with AD(H)D to the extent Koretsky has.
