It is kind of weird that ADM is just a chapter at the end of a PPL handbook, but, I feel like the importance is not very emphasized. CFI's your thoughts? Also I've heard that most pilots have A-type personalities, but I don't have an A type personality, I am more like a C or D type. What other resources are there to direct me to find more info about ADM?
Quantum Pro makes a great CRM course that gives good information on ADM, and IMO more importantly flight discipline. It is flight discipline that has you here asking questions about ADM right?
I agree with you that ADM is a huge part of the picture and certainly needs more emphasis. I think flight discipline plays a larger role however and I find even less time spent on this than ADM. Here is a good link to get started on flight discipline:

I will say this, Jepesen may not have a large chapter devoted to ADM, but the information given should more than suffice for a typical private pilot. I think it would make more sense to spend ample time on the topics in the book, beating them into the student, then getting overly complex with ADM theory. If you beat in the topics in Jepesen chapter 10 I think it is at least it increases the chances of them retaining that information and being able to use it.
III Corps thanks for the links, good stuff.
