While this isn't a badly written book, I do wish it had more constructive coping mechanisms and skills for dealing with adhd. It is excellent knowing we're not alone and learning to live authentically and as ourselves, but as someone trying very hard to live with adhd, I'd really hoped for more concrete skills, which I guess the authors would classify as ‘fixing' myself, which is heavily frowned upon throughout the book. And I get it, nothing is really ‘wrong' with those of us with adhd, but existing in an ever-more-capitalistic society requires some level of function and wanting to find that isn't wrong either. 

That said, this is a good book for accepting yourself and finding joy in knowing you aren't alone in your struggles. It is well written, hence my rating. I only wish it had some additional skill-based chapters for coping with adhd.
