· Harness the power of self-compassion and self-awareness to embrace your unique brain

It All Makes Sense Now by Carder

I have read many books on ADHA/ADD. This by far the best one. So incredibly helpful and she has some funny stories you can probably relate to. I highly recommend this book!

Practical and empowering!

Newly diagnosed (as a woman in my mid-40s) and have spent the past couple months devouring books about ADHD (over 10 total). Some were so bad I didn’t finish, others had bits and pieces of useful info but a lot of less helpful information.

This is the book I wish I had started with — it’s a great mix of her personal experience, descriptions from her ADHD coaching clients, and practical, useful action steps presented as lists of options to try.

I also loved the structure of stand alone chapters covering various areas — makes it so easy to go back and review topics of greater interest.

My only complaint is that the reading speed was a bit slow — I almost always listen to audiobooks at regular (1x) speed but had to increase this to 1.2 to make it tolerable.

Felt seen

Great book, especially if you are newly diagnosed. I felt so seen reading each chapter.

Must read

I loved all the stories and insight to ADHD. Book was well written. This is a must read for anyone who has or thinks they have ADHD, or lives with someone that has ADHD

awesome

very relatable, easy listen with actionable steps included. This book is well written to help adults with ADHD I would recommend it to anyone looking for more support
