From the bestselling author of The Year I Met My Brain comes a practical and empowering workbook of handy tools for daily life, designed specifically for adults with ADHD.

As an ADHDer, sometimes you feel stuck - and the unrelenting demands of adult life in a neurotypical world certainly don't help. Matilda Boseley knows it because she has lived it and learned a lot since her diagnosis at age 23.

In her first book, The Year I Met My Brain, journalist Matilda took a deep dive into adult ADHD to understand how it all works. Now, she's written The ADHD Brain Buddy- a treasure trove of practical tips, activities and scientific insights to help you make it through the hard days, utilise the great ones and reflect on the impact ADHD has had throughout your life. All in the pursuit of making your world easier to navigate - and way more fun.

Engaging and interactive, this illustrated workbook offers-

- Practical

strategies- Learn tricks and skills to help you sail through common

scenarios across work, health and self-care, finances, life admin,

relationships and more. Even boring to-do lists become a gamified

adventure!

- Expert

insights- Benefit from the wisdom of ADHD specialists, including

psychologist Janelle Booker and ADHD coach Dr Michele Toner, to navigate

challenges with confidence.

- Self-compassion- Cultivate

a kinder relationship with yourself by recognising your emotions,

understanding your limits and celebrating your unique strengths.

- Fun

and wit- Enjoy a good-humoured approach that makes ADHD life both

manageable and enjoyable.

Free from guilt, shame or pressure, The ADHD Brain Buddy meets you where you are - whether you're surviving, thriving or reflecting. It's the perfect helpful companion for your neurodivergent journey.

'Offers guidance without judgement, encouragement without the pressure, and a whole lot of humour and heart. I wish I'd had it sooner.' - Steph Claire Smith
