The Mini ADHD Coach: Tools and Support to Make Life Easier—A Visual Guide by Alice Gendron

informative fast-paced

5.0

When navigating through the vast sea of mental health literature, finding a piece that speaks directly and authentically to its intended audience can be a daunting task. But Alice Gendron accomplishes this with finesse and genuine understanding (she was diagnosed late in life)  in her book, "The Mini ADHD Coach: How to (finally) Understand Yourself," a book I was fortunate enough to explore through an advanced reader copy.

As someone who specializes in ADHD within my psychotherapy practice, the appeal of "The Mini ADHD Coach" isn’t just in its accessibility but also in its respectful and accurate portrayal of the ADHD experience. Gendron successfully shares a wealth of knowledge into concise, easily-read segments, allowing readers to immerse themselves in valuable insights without feeling burdened by the volume of information. She also includes adorable pictures to accompany the information!

One of the delightful aspects of this book is the intentional design and structure that seem to organically weave through the interest-based learning experiences of individuals with ADHD. The capability to flip through any section of the book  is not just a thoughtful addition but a necessary one, enabling readers to engage with the content in a manner that resonates with them most.

Moreover, the inclusion of charming visuals not only breaks up text but also adds an element of relatability. I was able to finish the book in 1 hour and 15 minutes that I broke up into a few reading sessions. 

For professionals in the mental health field or those living with ADHD, this book is going to be a great resource! It will become a necessary tool by offering practical advice for navigating the complexities and learning to work with your ADHD brain rather than against it. This will absolutely be a book I recommend clients!
