An explicit and clear guide to being an adult with ADHD. From James Brown and Alex Conner who have been running a podcast around this subject.
The personal journeys are interesting and relatable. There are science based facts and some great myth busting of misconceptions and misinformation that people may pick up from social media.
Invaluable to understand any friends or relatives with ADHD. Some great tips for coping and shining a light on where emotions are involved.
As I am not neurodivergent, the writing doesn’t flow in a way I can absorb easily, this book is really for people with neurodivergence, but it is incredibly useful and packed with relevant information and insights.
Really interesting and if you know anyone with ADHD this would be a wonderful help. This is a fascinating subject and great to get some clarity.
Thank you to NetGalley for the informative and very interesting read.

Having binge listened to the podcast after my adult diagnosis of ADHD, it comes as no surprise that this book is utterly brilliant. It’s an abundance of evidence based information (backed up by multiple pages of references!) that helps to break down and explain the many facets of ADHD. It is totally engaging and endlessly relatable and should be mandatory reading for all those newly diagnosed and those who know and are supporting them. Kudos, and apologies for the compliments.

Brilliant! This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand adult ADHD, whether for personal insight or to support someone else navigating this condition.

What I particularly love about "ADHD Unpacked" is its comprehensive approach. It doesn’t just delve into the personal and social challenges associated with ADHD; it also addresses the often-overlooked professional aspects. This is crucial, as many misunderstandings stem from issues like masking and a general lack of awareness in the workplace.

I wish they could make this book mandatory reading for employers, managers, HR professionals, occupational health specialists, etc. It stands out as the most thorough and clearly articulated resource I've encountered on adult ADHD— and I’ve explored a lot, having been diagnosed with both ASD and ADHD as an adult.

The writing is fun, engaging, and so relatable that I could easily slap my photo and name on the cover, calling it an autobiography! This is a book I will read, re-read, reference, and recommend to anyone eager to learn more about adult ADHD.

Finally a book that has humour and scientific evidence. I really enjoyed all the more technical explanations going beyond the usual explanations "this is how your brain works on a basic level", delivered in a friendly and digestible way.
thanks for writing such informative and fun book, thanks for raising awareness too.

An insight into ADHD that's easily accessible. I imagine it will be really valuable to people trying to get to grips with an ADHD diagnosis, especially those recently diagnosed as adults.

However, it might be even more valuable to those with a family member or friend struggling with ADHD because the authors have also had their own difficulties with their diagnoses and learning to life with it. As someone who has an adult son with a recent diagnosis, this book has helped me see his problems more clearly and hopefully understand his daily battles to live a "comfortable" life.

"Unpacked" cuts through the nonsense and uses humour a lot, but treats the condition seriously, and recognises medical and scientific fact. The quackery and false info so common on social media is given short shrift. There is a lot of solid information in these pages, presented in a manner that's easily digested.

Recommended reading for anyone curious about this often much misunderstood condition. I would especially urge anyone with an Human Resources or staff management role to read it so that they can recognised how to recognise traits, support their employees and make adjustments that could enable them to give their best in the workplace.

Books on ADHD are still relatively few in number, and books on ADHD by people who actually know what it's like to have ADHD are fewer still.
This book is one of those - a rare gem. Its authors are also incredibly knowledgeable and the evidence base they tap into is extensive.
I hope that in the future there will be loads more books with this balance of information, analysis and lived experience but for now, this is one of the few around.

Finally, a fully scientific, evidence-based and up-to-date book on ADHD, which debunks the myths, the sugarcoated study results and explains the true experience.
A book I wish I had written, and yet, glad that the authors have done it very well for us.
