SMALL TALK: 10 ADHD lies and how to stop believing them by Roxanne Pink, Richard Pink

emotional inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

I loved their first book, Dirty Laundry, and this was just as good (if not better, honestly). As a mental health therapist who works with a lot of ADHDers and is AuDHD myself, this book was incredible on so many levels. I absolutely love the emphasis that managing ADHD is not a matter of trying harder, doing better, or being less of anything—rather, it’s just a part of us that sometimes causes frustration and is other times beautiful. It was a great, balanced mix of empathy/validation and a challenging “kick in the ass.” I also appreciate that it’s very ADHD-friendly to read with lots of headers, clear paragraph spacing, bullet points, and straightforward questions.
