Written by Nikki Kinzer and Pete D. Wright, co-hosts of the hit podcast Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast with more than one million annual downloads, Unapologetically ADHD helps readers plan for long term goals, projects, and tasks that need to get done, providing a step-by-step outline for success that still allows for plenty of individual flexibility. An accessible and also fun read, this book is intentionally organized into clear sections within chapters and includes engaging visuals throughout.

Readers get access to various coaching strategies, such as powerful questions and exercises, to help them move towards planning success on their own terms. In this book, you'll find information on:

Understanding how the ADHD mind works and how to manage “all or nothing” mode Letting go of the shame that so many with ADHD feel and the concept of RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria) acceptance Using practical tips that can be applied immediately to help you feel more in control of your life

With a perfect balance between planning strategies and real conversations on what it's like to have ADHD, Unapologetically ADHD earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of everyone with ADHD who wants to master an often-challenging executive function to live a more structured and fulfilling life.
