I was hoping I would like and appreciate this book as a resource to learning more about my new diagnosis. Thankfully, I do! There are soooo many books out there for ADHD, and this one may just be my favorite at this point. She applies all the material in the book to her own life. So, it has a memoir feel to it. I like that. It helps to have applied examples, and her writing style is personal and filled with appropriate emotion because it is so important to her, personally. It doesn't feel like a text book. It feels like a friend is teaching you all about your brain. It is very cozy and pleasant, which is great for ADHD'ers :) I am thankful Jessica chose to try this life path, and I am grateful for her time spent writing this tremendous and BIG written resource for ADHD brains. Thank you~ :)

Popular Highlights in this book
Whenever you experience that gear-grinding feeling that tells you something isn’t working, don’t try harder. Try different.Highlighted by 955 Kindle readers- The fact that I could sometimes exceed expectations made it even more frustrating for me—and everyone around me—when I failed to meet the basic ones.Highlighted by 838 Kindle readers
- So we learn to mask our ADHD behaviors and do what’s expected of us—be quiet, sit still, pay attention—when we’re in public. We pay the price later—melt down, feel exhausted, stare blankly at a wall, or scroll through social media for hours just trying to recharge.Highlighted by 809 Kindle readers

About the author
Life changing information for those of us with ADHD!
I've been a fan of Jessica's since she started her channel, and have been helped so much by all her information. So, when she announced a book was in the works, I pre-ordered it, and received it yesterday. I'm already up to chapter 6, and really appreciate the effort that was put into this book. It's definitely written for those of us with ADHD, by someone who also has ADHD. That makes a difference! It's relatable, easy to understand, and it makes sense to my brain. Too many times, there are books written for self-help, and you can tell that the author has very little personal experience with the concept they are trying to write about. They come across as preaching or talking down to their readers. This is not the case with Jessica's book. She's been there, done that, lived through it, and personally learned from a lifetime of her experiences dealing with her own ADHD brain. She's not just passing on results from some random medical study, telling you what to do, she's giving you the benefit from her own experience. Doctors and therapists can try to help, but their knowledge is limited, and their "help" is rarely based on more than the little training they've had with ADHD, and the common ideas of what ADHD is and the usual presentations of the complications. This book can serve as a way for doctors, teachers, parents, therapists of all sorts to really better understand ADHD and how our brains work (or often don't as the case may be). It will help us to understand ourselves, and help others to understand us as well.
