Dr. Lara Honos-Webb is a clinical psychologist and draws on her experience to explain executive functioning skills and solutions. She explores five core areas, provides self-assessments to help readers understand their own weaknesses, and strategies for overcoming executive function disorder. The book has exercises to strengthen skills and apply them to everyday situations. The goal is for readers to begin controlling their brain, rather than controlled by their brain.
