Now It All Makes Sense: How An ADHD Diagnosis Brought Clarity To My Life

Despite the age difference, which, hey sometimes it makes a difference. Alex is AWESOME, he describes his own personal journey with ADHD leading up to the book and SO-SO MUCH is SO RELATABLE !!! I haven't finished it yet. As a late diagnosis and a lot of sudden changes in life. It'll definitely be a book I'm reading cover-cover to help myself and the ones in my life. To be able to connect and to communicate with the ones you love, to get to know the real you. He has so many helpful hints, talked to so many experts in the field of ADHD, other people who struggles with ADHD. I am also hoping to learn how to love myself, give myself patience, compassion and allow myself to heal. I know the more I heal, the better I person I become. Healing starts with yourself. Alex also has a pod cast. Which is also so very helpful. 🙏 Many, many Blessings to Alex and all those who have ADHD or any other mental illnesses. And to ALL those who help and support the one's you love 🙏 💜🙏🩵 To those who wished to or would love to help someone in your life, to know and understand the Who, What, How to help and have helpful solutions and directions, This Book is SHORT, SWEET, SIMPLE, and HEARTWARMING 💜🩵💜🩵💜

Easy to read and understand. Offers practical advice for every day management of ADHD.

Excellent book. This is a terrific follow-on book for those who have been through the introductory ADHD books. It is based on his podcast and features all kinds of knowledge from experts. And the advice is more sophisticated than other good, but more ADHD beginner books. The knowledge really helps me understand myself and others. I believe we are all on a "spectrum" of sorts with our "alphabets" (ADHD, ODD, ADD, PTSD, etc.) and this book just helped me learn. I was diagnosed at 72. I masked all my life and wondered why was it So difficult for me and why did it seem I was hurting myself? Forget that! My ADHD has helped me and probably more ways than I know. Enjoy this book!

I ran across Alex in a reel while doom-scrolling a year ago. I binged on his content reel-after-reel for the next hour and felt my life implode because I too had experienced everything he described for the past 50 years. Everything. Now, everything makes sense, and everything got better for me because I quit hiding. For me, Alex's book is a continuation into understanding how a mentally overactive ADHD life feels. Within the first few pages I burst into tears many times because what Alex shared cracked open some distant painful memory. To be honest, I'm not sure how I made it this far without a proper diagnosis. Sure, I could pick out a few areas in the book that didn't feel quite finished. But everything else does feel well rounded because it resonates so well with me. Sure, not everything he suggests would work for me or my partner. But a lot of it does. And most importantly it works for me and the relationship I have with myself. Sure, I would love to read more about how Alex's life started, became overwhelming, and crushed his soul. But, that's only the start. It's equally important to see what happened and how things are better for him today. While I understand where those criticisms come from, I can immediately dismiss them because of the fundamental need of ADHD to share the experience. And that is probably the best summary of both my life and Alex's book. You are welcome to criticize because you don't agree, now let me share my experience. And if that review makes sense to you, you owe it to yourself to read Now it all Makes Sense.

This book offers a realistic glimpse into what nuanced ADHD symptoms and habits look like in day-to-day life. It's accessible and easy to read and digest. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I was hoping Alex would dive more into running a business and some of his stories/personal history/etc. as an entrepreneur. Instead, the book focuses on all aspects of his life, which is interesting, but I was also hoping to get more insight into how he started and scaled his businesses. Great read overall.

Easy read but packed full with terrific information in a relatable, simple to digest manner. ❤️

Well written easily understood. Very helpful

Easy reading. Understandable and enlightening.

Just a series of the author's personal anecdotes. Nothing really serious or insightful

Ho acquistato questo libro con grandi aspettative, anche in virtù del prezzo, ma purtroppo ne sono rimasto deluso. Mi aspettavo un testo pratico e informativo sull’ADHD, invece il contenuto si concentra prevalentemente sulla biografia personale dell’autore, risultando ripetitivo e poco utile. Mancano approfondimenti concreti e consigli efficaci per chi cerca supporto o strategie per convivere con questo disturbo. Per questi motivi, ritengo che il libro non meriti più di 2 stelle.

„Gebraucht: Sehr gut“ gekauft und „Gebraucht: Extrem schlechter Zustand“ erhalten. Rückgabe: nicht möglich (außer über den Button: Ware beschädigt). Amazon Chat kontaktiert und Sachverhalt geschildert, Preisnachlass erhalten. Damit konnte ich dann leben. Inhalt: DAS Buch, was man zum Thema gelesen haben sollte.

Thank you! Now I understand myself and my adult children so much more. It truly makes sense.

Alex is a gem. Many people, who have had the kind of experiences that he has, would have just sunk down a hole. I have a huge amount of respect for the way he’s owned those challenges and is using them to help other people. I can identify with many of the stories Alex tells, and I know many others will do too. I often reply to many text messages telepathically, rather than with my phone. As none of my friends/family are telepathic, it doesn’t go down well and I’ve been told a million times that nobody else does this. Well guess what everyone, they do. We might think differently, but we’re not alone. Thank you Alex for making so many people feel seen and I hope you know that the community that you’ve built see you right back. – Having said that, I am a little worried about how many parking tickets you get! The book is motivational, interesting, funny and everything else I needed it to be. Neurodivergent people need to read this, people who think they may be ND should too, AND those smarty pants people who say “but everyone has ADHD these days” should read it as well. That’s right smarty pants people, we hear you, you’re wrong and you need to read the book so you don’t sound like a doughnut any more. I’ve listened to the audio book for ease, but also have a hard copy which I’ll be working my way through with a highlighter pen to share the most relevant sections with family and friends. It’s time for the world to have a better understanding of neurodivergent people, and this book is a great step forward.
