I always read the annual Gallup State of the Global Work. You can read this year’s here.

Books about ADHD

I’m on a mission to read or listen to every recommended book about ADHD so I can vet them and choose the right ones to suggest to clients. Keep checking back as I add to the list.

Audiobooks and the neurodivergent brain

I love to listen to audiobooks when I’m doing a chore that I have a hard time starting (or what some people might call procrastination.) If I have to put the dishes away, at least I’d like to learn something.

As some of us can have sound sensitivities, I highly recommend you listen to a sample before you buy to determine if you can be OK with the narrator’s voice.

How to ADHD: An Insider’s Guide to Working with Your Brain (Not Against It) by Jessica McCabe

Jessica, an ADHDer herself, or what she calls a Brain, started the popular channel How to ADHD.  The book is a comprehensive guide and one I often recommend for folks new in their diagnosis journey. It chapters on focus, memory, relationships, sleep, etc. and each comes with anecdotes and hacks to try.

How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis, LPC

If you’ve ever struggled to keep the spaces around you clean and/or clutter-free and felt bad about it, this is the book for you. This is one of the few books out there by someone like me, a therapist and a ADHDer and it’s gloriously compassionate. Absolute real talk.

ADHD is Awesome: A Guide to (Mostly) Thriving With ADHD by Kim and Penn Holderness

I particularly enjoyed the paper version of this book because it was full of drawings and other colorful graphics in what felt to me like an homage to the sparkly, creative brain. This is a book I recommend for creatives and couples where one partner has ADHD and the other doesn’t. Penn describes his challenges and hacks, while Kim shares both the joys and challenges of living, running a business, and co-parenting with an ADHD partner.
