Smart but Scattered--and Stalled: 10 Steps to Help Young Adults Use Their Executive Skills to Set Goals, Make a Plan, and Successfully Leave the Nest

Our son flunked out of college and this book helped him get back on track! He was accepted back into college and got straight A’s! He’s not doing quite as well this semester but his weekly calls with his Dad are helping him stay accountable! I highly recommend this book!

I love this book. It covers most of the problems teen would have and provides the tactics or skills they should master. It’s really helpful. I used his strategies on my kids. I asked my son to read it thru and he did. He found some of his issues thru it. Recommend strongly!

Such a fantastic, useable book for my 22-year-old son and me. It gives us common language, we do the worksheets, which he is willing to do because they are from an expert, not from his mom. He particularly connects with the dozens of case studies, so thank you for stories from the young adults' points of view. Colin's contributions were invaluable! Thank you for your vulnerability, Colin. This is a reference book in our library that we come back to time and time again. I learned so much about parenting -- I wish I would have found this when he was in middle school!

As a teacher, I found a vast array of ideas, methods, and uplifting stories throughout the book that I will be using with my students.

Very great book!

Very helpful!

Just what I expected.

First thing to know is the book and recommendations are totally dependent on your young adult child participating in all the quizzes and goal setting. If you don’t have the participation of your child, the book really isn’t helpful. I also found it somewhat complicated in all the steps and quizzes that need to be completed before getting to any actual recommendations. And in all honesty, I didn’t get anything useful from the book.

This book has given me some valuable tools to work with. Happy with purchase

For a brand new product this is way too damaged when the packaging came intact. The first pages look and feel like they have been damaged by water. The cover has a whole hole in the front and is completelly scratched and full of marks
