Books on ADHD

[Universa1]

Hi could anyone recommend the best books or podcasts that have helped you manage or understand your ADHD better. Are there any must read books.

The first book I read was called how to ADHD which I really enjoyed and made me want to dig deeper and learn more. The second I read (ADHD explained) i thought was a revaluation and it has really helped me make sense of my life so far and has given me some wonderful tips, tricks and ideas to help me improve my life. So if anyone can recommend me anything as good as s this or better than I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you friends.

Hi

Thanks I have been meaning to check out her podcast.

I didn’t realise I hadn’t listened the second book so I have edited the post, it is called ADHD explained and it is a great read.

Well I listened to it on audible but it was great.

The very first ADHD audio book I listened to, which set me on this journey, was 'Dirty laundry' by Rox and Richard Pink. Highly recommend.

I have found the 'I Have ADHD' podcast by Kirsten Carder really helpful. Especially looking back through older episodes for titles that intrigue me. She did a series on executive function challenges which I found very enlightening.

Also 'Adhd is Awesome' by Penn & Kim Holderness, and 'Driven to distraction' by Dr Hallowell - this is an older book (written in the 90s I believe) but is really helpful with tons of case studies.

Thank you so much for your suggestions I will definitely get round to reading them all. Dr Hallowell wrote ADHD explained and it has opened my eyes and given me lots and lots to think about, it is a great book.

Thanks again for your help though I really do appreciate it.

I purchased the audio book and the hardcopy to highlight and make notes.

Hi and thank you so much for your suggestions, I will definitely give them a read. I have read one by Dr Halloway and I can’t tell you how much it has helped me understand myself better.

Thanks again
