I tried to get through this book but simply could not progress past a certain point. There is valuable content and information here. I did not connect with the author’s tone; it is deliberately distanced and observational but it translated in a number of places as condescending (I’m confident it wasn’t the intention.) The information was also told in an academic manner which doesn’t engage as much in the audiobook format, and the overall themes are disempowering if you yourself have ADHD and are seeking information (this is a very difficult and impactful impairment, you don’t even understand or know your own impairment, etc.) While it deeply knows the physiological, it doesn’t resonate on the emotional or social level, except to warn sternly for those it considers in denial, which is seems to assume most are. For those who are functioning adults who are keenly aware of the challenges, and who are seeking balanced advice, I think I found other reads that worked better for me personally. I would recommend this based on the information but did not enjoy the overall message or tone and it put me off to the degree I could not finish the book. I think the author could recut this with some input from the patients and have an overall more impactful outcome that is more empathetic and informed by experience and engagement, versus observation and sympathy.

Some good content that would so benefit from a refresh

Looking for a book to help with adhd. This was more just “what it is” just a lot of filler info if you ask me.

Not what I thought

If you are listening to this book, you probably have ADHD. Because of that, the author should have considered his audiences lack of attention span a bit more and formatted the it as such. Even with Vyvanse 30mg, I frequently found myself zoning out or daydreaming. I think I probably took in 30% of the book. However, I understand that could be related to other factors like my young children around me etc. Nevertheless, I still found myself zoning out at times even when driving. I will probably have to listen to this 3x before finding it very useful.

Written in a format not suited for those with ADHD

For the parts I could pay attention to (not by any fault of the book) it was great. Definitely gave lots of great information and helped explain a lot.

Great book!

A very detailed "owner's manual" for those of us with adult ADHD. They way it differentiates us from the rest of the population and comments on the whole "We all have ADHD symptoms" fallacy gave me a lot of insight. It also motivated me to analyze my daily routines and build in strategies based on my strengths. Extremely happy to have this resource.

Excellent ADHD manual!

Nice to have an audio version of a book that's a little hard to focus on in parts. Well organized, and the examples of ADHD people dealing with symptoms is very useful and relatable at times. I like the hard focus on information that's been confirmed through research. There's also an attempt to be warm and a little funny, which is extra endearing, considering the material can be a bit of a bummer.

Enlightening

Made it to chapter four and there was no mention of any of the benefits or possitive traits. An ongoing list of how the "mental disorder" only causes problems. Repeats the worse case over and over.

Very basic and negative.

A monotone delivery, repetitive in content, provides more explanation rather than solutions. Felt like a traditional scientific approach focusing on deficits and pitfalls rather than looking for positives alongside the negative.

uninspiring.

This book in one sentence.

Go get diagnosed at an expensive clinic, and take drugs for the rest of your life.

This book simply didn’t need to be written at all. And anyone telling you that the only way to manage life is through drugs. Is an idiot. If you want to go the pharmaceutical route, that’s your prerogative. Don’t waste your time on this book telling you just that. If you’re looking for a way to deal with a disorder that isn’t simply taking drugs… I’m this ain’t it.

Let me sun it up for you.
