I do not know how good these books are, but Dr. Barkley an ADHD specialist in 2009 recommend three professionals and their CBT programs. Note I said programs and not books. They three specialists also have books on this subject. The books may be good or may not be (sometimes the content of something may be awesome but the presentation sucks and is boring.)

These books may be better for your therapist and not you specifically, or they may be good for you, I do not know I have not read them.

The three people and the books they published.

I worked with an ADHD specialist at my university after being diagnosed and he shred lots of things from this book

Basically challenging your thoughts and behaviours in specific ways.

Hiya! Perhaps you could ask your psychiatrist for a referral to someone who practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have a book by Mary Solanto that's meant for group therapy, but it has some really fantastic skill building tips and exercises for time management and the organizational garbage we struggle with here. I've been meaning to see get into a group so I can have accountability, but procrastination comes with the territory. Heres a link to the book anyway and hope it helps! https://www.amazon.com/Cognitive-Behavioral-Therapy-Adult-ADHD-Dysfunction/dp/1462509630

I really recommend this book https://www.amazon.com/Cognitive-Behavioral-Therapy-Adult-ADHD-Dysfunction/dp/1462509630 . A lot of the techniques seem simple such as keeping a daily planner, but they've made a huge difference in my life the past month.

I definitely think CBT with a therapist is something you should pursue. Before I had even made the connection that I might have adult ADHD, I started seeing someone who specialised in meditative therapies, his background being in Buddhism. I was a bit hesitant at first because, well, it sounded a bit hokey to me but it was actually very helpful. Something he said that is the perfect description for our condition (at least for me) is that "your mind is like a stallion running wild. We want to tame it--not break it--so you can take control of it". For whatever reason, that outlook helped a lot. Unfortunately, I had to stop seeing him because my insurance ran out but I would go back in a second.

Fast forward about a month and I have been formally diagnosed and am getting on medicine (its a clinical trial, 3rd phase--so we will see what happens) and until I get back on insurance I plan to use a couple books I found via a video that was actually posted by u/roland00 on another thread. (BTW that video was a lecture by Russell Barkley and was immensely helpful, so thank you very, very much u/roland00) Anyway there are a bunch out there but I went with this one and this one. Check the "customers also bought" section for others. Good luck on your journey!
