如果你是一位被诊断出注意力不足及过动症（ADHD）的成人，这本书能帮助你。这不是一本严肃的医学，充满大量的学术类语言。这本书像是跟一个好朋友喝一杯咖啡，讨论彼此的人生。作者在书中澄清了许多关于ADHD的误解或者神秘之处，解释为什么市面上很多自我帮助的方法是不管用的，以及我们应该如何创造最适合自己的策略，跟我们的大脑合作，而不是对抗。

作者本身也是一位患有ADHD的成人，他在书中提供了

• 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

• Tips for managing your energy and avoiding ADHD burnout

• Navigating the clockless mind, including strategies for time estimation and managing chronic lateness

• Memory techniques to stop losing track of tasks, ideas, and your car keys

• Strategies for coping with success amnesia, imposter syndrome, rejection sensitivity, and shame spirals

这是一个帮助你了解自己的ADHD以及学会如何与它共存。这是一个没有评判的区域，充满了来自那些了解患有ADHD的人的理解和指导（在一个似乎不理解它的世界中）。我们能学会控制它，而不是让它控制自己。读者能在书中理解大脑如何运作的动力、探索大脑黑客，以及让生产力和组织变得可能。

好评：

"I tore through this in one evening and didn't even mean to. Concise, easy to read, and packed with clever strategies, Jesse's quick start guide is a fantastic place to start for anyone looking to better understand their-or a loved one's-ADHD."

- Jessica McCabe, New York Times bestselling author of How to ADHD: An Insider's Guide to Working with Your Brain (Not Against It)

"I've read tons of ADHD books-or, more accurately, I've started tons of them-but Jesse's is legit the first one I've actually finished (and I did it in one sitting). Extra Focus is an entertaining and incredibly easy read, with no unnecessary repetition for the sake of extra pages. Just concise information and practical tips, sprinkled with tons of relatable 'ohhhh, it's not just me!' moments. I really wish this guide existed when I first got diagnosed. If you're dealing with ADHD-or even just trying to understand it better-I highly recommend you check out Extra Focus. Trust me (and thank Jesse later)."

- Dani Donovan, ADHD creator and author of The Anti-Planner: How to Get Sh*t Done When You Don't Feel Like It

"Critical insights on ADHD and actionable strategies to deal with it. Wonderfully describes and simplifies the concept."

- Derek Sivers, founder of CD Baby and author of Anything You Want

"I've been waiting for Jesse Anderson to get all his ideas down in a book. His newsletter and tweets have improved my life so much. He gets the ADHD brain better than anyone I've seen and offers usable, smart tools and the context to make me interested in them. I'm so glad he has put all of that in one place, because I have ADHD and am not good at looking in lots of different places."

- Adam Davidson, cofounder of NPR's Planet Money podcast and author of The Passion Economy

"There's a reason hundreds of thousands of people on social media have been drawn to Jesse J. Anderson's thoughts around ADHD: he's better at combining first-hand experiences with well-researched facts than just about anybody. Extra Focus is a compelling read for those who have wondered why they just can't focus the way other people can. Packed with strategies, anecdotes and revelations, it's a must-read on the topic."

- Anna David, New York Times bestselling author

"Chock full of smart, practical advice and strategies with the perfect amount of tongue-in-cheek honesty . . . It's a must read for every ADHDer out there, regardless of where you are on your journey."

- Lindsay Guentzel, host & producer of Refocused, A Podcast All About ADHD
