The first three chapter of this book answered questions I have had about meditation forever. For years, I have been frustrated each time I tried to meditate. My mind went into “monkey chatter,” as the author aptly calls it. This book let me know that my challenges are normal. It also made meditation less overwhelming by including exercises that are bite-sized ways to calm the brain and stay grounded in the present. For me, the mindfulness meditation was especially helpful as lately I have woken, poured coffee, and dived into work and all its distraction instead of taking a moment to be here, now, with myself. Many of these meditations are ways to connect to life, generally. I especially liked the one geared toward active listening and paying attention to the clues that others give as they talk. I have tried it a few times before important conversations and it’s made an incredible difference in how I understand the conversation and react. This book may have ADHD in the title but it could easily apply to anyone, anywhere trying to focus on a calm joy in a chaotic world.

Both my husband and son have ADHD. Not to make it all about me, but it's hard sometimes living with two ADHD family members and trying to understand how and why they do certain things. It can be frustrating and exhausting. I read Mindfulness Meditations for ADHD in hopes to share some helpful meditations with my family to improve their focus and help with stress, but what I discovered, was that most of the exercises worked for me as well. I think most of us see meditation as something only the enlightened can master, but this book simplifies and gives such detailed instruction around the practice, it's helpful for everyone. It's a book I'll keep on my nightstand always.
