This book is best suited to someone who has not yet been diagnosed with ADHD and has not yet done much, if any, research on what it looks like in women but is curious about whether they could have it.
It is a very basic introduction to the topic and the information provided never dives much below surface level.
I did not find the workbook sections to be useful, and the sections on strategies are super basic. If you are an adult with ADHD you probably already do most of the things they suggest naturally and they only provide a brief paragraph to introduce each of them before moving on to the next.
Not my favorite resource by far, but I could see myself recommending it to someone who is wondering if it's possible that they could have ADHD but has not yet decided to seek assessment.

Is it possible that I finished *two* books in the past week? It is, and I did!
As other reviewers have noted, this book isn't ideal for those of us who have spent quite a bit of time learning about ADHD or done a lot of work with it, individually and/or in treatment. Nevertheless, it reinforced concepts I needed reminding of and gave me a couple of new tools I can use.
But if you're just beginning your ADHD journey, this book could be a helpful starting place.

I read the introduction and thought some parts would be boring to read, being common-enough information. But I really enjoyed reading this and doing most of the exercises (though I cannot find the self-assessment checklist they mentioned online). The way it's written is just sufficiently detailed for you to get started on your own and see what works. I like that they don't drag on any point too long. Technically, I didn't fully read this because the summary at the end got me zoned out since it was all already mentioned, but it was brief, thankfully, so I didn't feel too bad. Highly-recommended!

Helpful in early days of my diagnosis!
This book came up as I was wondering whether I have ADHD. My son had been recently diagnosed as an adult, my new job was stressful and I had begun to doubt my ability to overcome my difficulties performing well in a new team. Straight-forward, useful and clearly researched , this book outlines
ways to work with professional help, identify and tackle my own barriers and, most importantly, begin to value my neurodivergent brain as contributing to my team's service. I am grateful to the authors for making it so accessible!

Good resource for those starting to seek support for symptom management. Several methods and exercises mentioned have been very effective over the years. There are very good case studies mentioned as well that feature patients choosing to go the non-medication route, which was very appreciated. There are many ways to go about addressing ADHD.

Good strategies
I liked learning more about the causes of ADHD. I always just thought I had allot of energy. I liked journaling about how certain things made me feel and what is my response to those feelings. It helped me too be aware and that will help me be in control of my life better.

Simple but helpful in places
A decent overview with several tips and resources. I knew most of this information already, but having it all in one place is nice.
