Makes ADHD sound funny. (Dislike)

Revisado: 11-25-24

I'm enjoying the audiobook, but having ADHD can be very depressing when you're trying to fit into society.
My ADHD had a hand in my divorce, which I still regret. It also made it hard to keep serious friendships. I hid my ADHD, which ultimately led to depression.
So I do have those characteristics that can be funny, like making mistakes because I only read the first part of an email, losing everything, not finishing what I start, and trying to calm myself down. But I also have times when I just wish I was like everyone else.
I was called lazy and spoiled by my family, because I couldn't finish chores. I became an introvert so no one would know what I'm really like. This led to very low confidence and blaming everything on myself.
But like you said, there is no one way for ADHD people to behave. I like your book. I just wish ADHD would have turned me into an outgoing success like it did you.

Not much to listen to here. Although it's descriptive, it wasn't an interesting story.

Trying too hard to make subjective experiences seem like science. Was really looking for something research based.

Christian rationalization for greed

Revisado: 11-18-19

I thought this would be an unbiased exploration. Unfortunately, it is just a rationalization for. christian greed and superiority. Don't waste your time or money.

Not very helpful

Revisado: 02-23-16

Narration was good. Unfortunately, after dismissing all of the other self improvement books, this author's idea is to remember all your fears, phobias, and frustrations, give them a name and then belittle them until they aren't important to you anymore. Very simplistic solutions dotted with classic examples of people who didn't give up and became successful.

Because of the title, I was intrigued and really wanted to like this book. Very disappointed.

Not Funny. A preachy autobiography.

What disappointed you about I'll Mature When I'm Dead?

It wasn't funny like his earlier books. He has a very simplistic view of life. A bit too preachy.

What could Dave Barry have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Stick with humor next time.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Obvious Conclusions with a Juvenile One-Sidedness

Revisado: 04-30-14

What would have made Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters better?

It could have been improved with some substantiated scientific information. The voice of the author sounded like a republican/democrat pundit talking about the other side as if they are always wrong. I can't believe that the author knows very many social scientists, but he bundles them up as morons who deny any type of genetic disposition.

Has Why Beautiful People Have More Daughters turned you off from other books in this genre?

Well, I really liked Biology and Human Behavior: The Neurological Origins of Individuality, 2nd Edition, as well as A Short History of Nearly Everything, so I will probably buy more titles in this category.

Would you be willing to try another one of Stephen Hoye’s performances?

No.
