Felt seen

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

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.

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

Vulnerability, relatable, and immediately actionable advice

Long time listener, first time reviewer.

This book is just what I needed. I have listened to many books, worked with therapists and psychiatrists, and have frankly invested significant time and money into finding the best strategies to manage ADHD for myself and my two middle school boys. This book is by far the best investment you can make if you’re also looking to develop a better understanding of ADHD and find immediately actionable strategies you can leverage to be at your best, and make it work within your home and work life.

I tell people all the time that ADHD can be a super power when well managed, and Meredith has provided relatable ways to implement all the best strategies I have learned over the years, and more!
