Overview

Does it ever feel like your ADHD mind is a circus-and the dancing elephants, erratic clown car, and swinging trapeze have taken control? David Sitt, PsyD, is among the growing number of adults diagnosed with ADHD later in life. Alongside those who carry the diagnosis from childhood, he understands the three-ringed experience of living with ADHD-as well as the empowering methods and mindsets that can turn that chaos into clarity. Dr. Sitt presents practical tools and reliable hacks to help readers increase their probabilities of success in fighting procrastination, disorganization, and inattention. Even those who feel their focus is diluted by technology will find value here, as Dr. Sitt addresses the similarly life-disrupting effects of what he calls Techno-ADD. If it feels like the circus is running you-if you're ready to take back the spotlight of your awareness-ADHD Refocused is the ringmaster you've been waiting for.

"""ADHD Refocused makes good on the promise in its title. Dr. Sitt brings to bear not only his professional experience but also his personal experience in this lucid, practical, and warmhearted book. Sitt has lived through the ADHD triumphs and travails. With this book he hands the reader a wonderfully written and clearly reasoned account of what he's learned along the way. I highly recommend this book."" - Edward Hallowell, MD, author of Driven to Distraction and ADHD 2.0 ""If you have ADHD or someone you care about has it, this is a must-read! David Sitt beautifully weaves compelling stories, rigorous science, and practical advice to present a picture of ADHD that is both realistic and optimistic."" - Tal Ben-Shahar, PhD, bestselling author of Happier, No Matter What, Chief Learning Officer at Happiness Studies Academy ""Dr. Sitt gets it just right in this book. He does a great job explaining life with ADHD in relatable and understandable ways but, maybe more importantly, shares the strategies that will help you live that better life. He brings a mix of personal experience, clinical skills, and academic foundation to create a readable and useful book. Check it out."" - Ari Tuckman, PsyD, ADHD expert, author, and international speaker ""I can't praise Dr. David Sitt's ADHD Refocused strongly enough. Dr. Sitt is a talented teacher who has a gift for using humor, clarity, and honesty to explain this often-neglected problem. Dr. Sitt presents a compassionate, practical, and effective toolbox of evidenced-based techniques and invaluable resources for those confronting the challenges and promise of living with ADHD. I highly recommend this book, which I plan to share with my colleagues and clients."" - David Pelcovitz, PhD, author, professor, Straus Chair in Psychology and Education at Yeshiva University ""ADHD Refocused is a brave and detailed book written by a savvy, smart, and accomplished psychologist who had to learn things the hard way (so his readers don't have to). Dr. Sitt has taken his life story, lessons he's learned, and tools for success and packaged them into this brutally honest and accessible narrative. If you or your loved one has ADHD, this is a must-read!"" - Vatsal G. Thakkar, MD, adult ADHD specialist, Chief Innovation Officer at Reimbursify, New York Times and Wall Street Journal op-ed writer"
