Taking Charge of Adult ADHD
barkley is pretty much "the adhd guy," afaik it's his conception of the nature of adhd that's been the generally accepted one since he first published about it, and it's basically been his whole career
the chapters of "taking charge" where he describes his idea of the theoretical underpinnings of adhd fucking shook me to my core, it was so fascinating and so perfectly in line with my mental experience. Chs 8 and 9 i think.
actually, looking it up, he has a book i've never read that seems like it's entirely an expansion of those chapters for laypeople, so i'll probably go read that now
(http://www.amazon.com/Executive-Functions-What-They-Evolved/dp/146250535X is the one i just found)
Taking Charge of Adult ADHD is a great one. I own that one and it has lots of practical tips on how to manage your ADHD.

It's more for deep understanding of human nature and why people with ADHD are so impaired.
