Providing a fresh perspective on the causes of failure to launch, the expert authors present a 10-step plan that helps grown kids and parents work together to achieve liftoff. Learn why brain-based executive skills such as planning, organization, and time management are so important to success, and what you can do to strengthen them. You get downloadable practical tools for figuring out what areas to target, building skills, identifying a desired career path, and making a customized action plan. Vivid stories of other families navigating the same challenges (including father and son Richard and Colin Guare) reveal what kind of parental support is productive--and when to let go. Review: Helped our son get back on track! - 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! Review: Worth of reading for teens or as teens - 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! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #133,517 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #133 in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity #339 in Popular Psychology Pathologies #3,249 in Personal Transformation Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 149 Reviews | ## Images ![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 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vjZfFlkTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helped our son get back on track! *by G***L on February 22, 2026* Our son flunked out of college and this book helped him get back on track!

Parents: Buy while your child is still young! *by K***I on July 13, 2024* 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! ## Frequently Bought Together - 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 - The Smart but Scattered Guide to Success: How to Use Your Brain's Executive Skills to Keep Up, Stay Calm, and Get Organized at Work and at Home - Smart but Scattered Teens: The "Executive Skills" Program for Helping Teens Reach Their Potential --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/81498577-smart-but-scattered-and-stalled-10-steps-to-help-young](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/81498577-smart-but-scattered-and-stalled-10-steps-to-help-young) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
