This book starts with three letters, one each to teens, parents, and professionals. It is just as the title suggests, a workbook to help teens with ADHD to be mindful in all aspects of their lives. I honestly think that it is a wonderful workbook for any teen, not just those with ADHD. It is logical and touches on many aspects of organizing life that many don't have as they grow to adulthood. My only reservation about this workbook is that many an ADHD teen wouldn't pick this up on their own and do all these exercises because of their lack of mindfulness. :D I can't wait to use this to help my daughter along.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to review this book.

This is a great guide for teens to become accepting of their ADHD and to learn to live with it. Each section focuses on a major topic such as how ADHD affects your life, family life, school life, relationships, healthy choices, and being successful. The topics are then broken down into chapters about organization, homework, sleep, nutrition, dating, driving, etc. Each of these is addressed in short, informational text with scenarios to which teens may relate, "For you to know", followed by "For you to do" which walks teens through steps to try or checklists to focus behavior. Sections are short enough to keep teens' attention and mindfulness tasks are practical and achievable.

Thanks to the publishers at Net Galley for the advance copy!

This book helped me throughout my master's degree studies. It was very helpful! There were a lot of tips which I was able to use in my clinical practice. Great resource!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a digital copy in exchange for my honest review.

It was a great read. It was great to see a book about ADD/ADHD that uses words and explanations that are on the same level as the teenagers who would read the novel - as they would be able to understand how their brain works and how to help it. Teenagers would definitely liked to write in the spaces provided about how they felt about themselves and their disorder.
