- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Know Your Audience In Everything You Right - Evan a menu!
This book is not for anyone with ADHD particularly in audio format. There's far too much talking around ADHD in unengaging language. A lot of unnecessary information where the writer hasn't defined who his audience is. No ADHD brain can get through this easily. There are some wild conclusions about how ADHD affects your life. They are nothing to do with most women with ADHD. ADHD people don't have out of control-sex-habits in meaningful numbers or have the problems with work or marriage described. They may happen but the author stretches credibility here. It's infuriating because our challenges are real but most of us mask, burn out and suffer depression and anxiety because we are "being normal." Why would someone struggling with these challenges, and already at a dopamine defect want to be sold on the reality of ADHD and its consequences in the worst case scenario? Pick who your reader is first. Then organize content and frame it that way. A professional recommended this book to me. I have no confidence in their understanding of neurodivergence now. Anyone who recommends this to someone with ADHD doesn't understand ADHD. And I don't think it would help my family and friends understand me or any ADHD person either. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the best book that I have read on ADHD. I believe that my life is changing for good from now on. This book captures so much details about the symptoms, helped me to understand the chemical reactions of my brain and more about how to manage my ADHD. It provided information about stimulants, non stimulants, habits and a lot more.I have told myself so many things about how to handle my symptoms but hearing all of the recommendations here and techniques to ensure success is very empowering. I am not done listening to the book as at the time of writing this review, but I felt strongly to write this review now so as to help others who might need the resources provided by this book. If you get bored listening to all the details at the beginning of the book, I encourage you to jump ahead, you might be able to come back to the earlier chapters once you have begun to appreciate the depth of help available in this material.
Wishing all my co ADHD survivors success in this journey. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really great book on adult ADHD by a doctor involved in the DSM criteria development and revision. This book offers a complete overview of the diagnostic criteria and functional consequences that are common in all areas of life. There actionable steps to address different deficiencies are very helpful and simple.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I got to chapter 9 and couldn't keep going. If you have ADHD, I would not recommend listening to this. It's incredibly rude and insulting. I'm a very generous friend who gives so much more than I am willing to take. Listening to this guy drone on about what "we do" that "you don't" is exhausting. I kept waiting for the helpful stuff and instead felt more and more terrible about my own existence with the MASSIVE list of issues I "cause myself and others." The message of this book is "if you have ADHD, you should feel bad about the burden you cause others. You're basically one step above an involent." I felt like if I kept going the advice would be "just go kill yourself." What a depressing way to speak to people when they are trying to learn skills that don't come naturally to them.
The fact that we can master skills that our brains aren't built for should be applauded. I don't see any normies able to pull off the cool stuff I am gifted with BECAUSE of my ADHD.
This book might help you, if you don't fall into depression just trying to get to the advice.
This is a hard pass for me.1 person found this helpful
