The side effects of Adderall and similar drugs were not worth it. I live a fairly comfortable life, so although I could see the problems my "condition" caused, they weren't debilitating to the point of that they absolutely had to be dealt with. However, my life continues to be a mass of a thousand interests, hundreds of unfinished plans and projects, hyperfocusing on the distraction of the day while ignoring matters of import in my life, etcetera. In many ways, my life is passing me by while I live in a whirl of distractions and impulsive actions.I managed to acquire an advance copy of this book (I am a book dealer) and was just taken aback by what the title - an acronym - translates to:FAST: Forgetful. Achieving below potential. Stuck in a rut. Time challenged.MINDS: Motivationally challenged. Impulsive. Novelty seeking. Distractible. Scattered.My reaction: "Wow, this is my life. Exactly. Every single letter." I vaguely remembered the symptoms of ADD/ADHD but it had been years since I had learned what they were. To see them in this way - your life described in an acronym - was, however, startling.The very fact that I read an entire 350-page book in the course of several days is actually the highest praise I can give (99% of books are never even half-finished in my world). The authors are engaging and you immediately know that THEY know what your life is like and the problems you have (as opposed to a dry 'How to fix your ADHD' textbook). While most self-help authors have a novel "key" that they've "discovered" to "cure" your problem, these authors offer multiple pragmatic remedies and techniques for you to try and choose, all based on the latest studies of ADHD patients. This is a thorough, comprehensive guide to help you, not a brief overview of ADHD nor a gimmicky pop psychology book.Some techniques seem overly simple, but in the limited practice I've had, seem quite effective: trying to simply control your thinking patterns, for example. An ADHD mind is like a wild pony in many ways and this one technique alone seems to help tame that pony. Another technique I liked was organizational habits for the ADHD mind. There are dozens more.There is a steady inspirational tone throughout the book, with success stories of people whose lives were changed with these techniques. If your life is anything like mine (F.A.S.T. M.I.N.D.S.), I strongly encourage you to read this book. While there is no guarantee that you (or I) will stay focused long enough to allow these techniques to work, it is pretty much a certainty our lives won't change if we don't give it a try. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great first read on Adult ADHD *by J***H on December 29, 2019* This book is clearly written and has been very helpful for me. This is the first book that I have read on the topic and it seems to give a very good overview of the problems and complications that someone with adhd is likely to encounter. It also provides you with a number of potential solutions to those problems, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), organizational tricks and tools, and medication.I am very familiar with CBT as I have read a few books about it and have been working with a therapist for more than 5 years to ameliorate my depression, with very positive life changing results. So I highly recommend taking this advise (and reading “Feeling Good by David Burns“).With the brevity of the book you will likely need to dig more into the CBT and organizational practices yourself to really learn it, but the book does a great job showing you how to get started. The section on meds seems to be fairly comprehensive, but I am only starting my personal exploration on that topic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Early suggestion *by M***H on April 13, 2013* Have many books on ADD, and am just barely getting started on this one, but it's straightforward and promising so far. Lots of written exercises. Will be better when it comes out in paperback, or an accompanying workbook is created. I hate marking up a hardcover book, and having ADD, will lose additional paper required for the exercises! ;-)With this difference, you know you always can use encouragement. Although plenty of the content is familiar, there are some different observations that I can well relate to, and are stated with a fresh, and frank approach.May adjust the final rating once finished. Please, publish it in paperback, or with a workbook! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/8584464-fast-minds-how-to-thrive-if-you-have-adhd-think](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/8584464-fast-minds-how-to-thrive-if-you-have-adhd-think) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-13*
