The Mini ADHD Coach is filled with straightforward advice stated in a simple, direct way, accompanied by whimsical illustration. You may wonder why people would need this book with all the many other books out there on how to solve your ADHD problems. One big problem is that those books, text heavy and filled with lots of detail. And they are aimed at an audience that is known to have a short attention span. While we do need those books, The Mini ADHD coach is more inviting and less intimidating than a thick tome of facts. I can see myself consulting when I need ideas or encouragement. I will definitely suggest this book to friends who have ADHD or struggle with executive functioning.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley for an honest review. I loved the way that it broke down ADHD into manageable sections and implemented the graphics along with text to engage the reader. It’s one I will go back to when I find myself in a rut as the author provided a bunch of useful “hacks” that have helped them succeed.

This one is a little tricky for me to rate, because it was not a good fit for me... but only because it seems to be aimed at people who have less experience understanding and managing their ADHD. I think I would have found this helpful if I'd stumbled upon it a couple of years ago. So I'm giving it three stars, because I would have been disappointed if I bought it now, but I think it could be really helpful to the right readership.

The author was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, but I think this book would also be useful for kids (and parents of kids) who have been diagnosed at an earlier age. The author talks about emotions associated with diagnosis, ways in which ADHD manifests (which I certainly found relatable!) and, perhaps most usefully, some of her life hacks for organizing things to make management easier. That last part seems like the most valuable part of the book, since I would expect that many people who have known to seek a diagnosis are already aware of their behaviors. That said, for people who are wondering if they have ADHD and/or don't have access to a therapist, etc., or can't afford pursuing a diagnosis, this would be a good starting point for understanding and management.

I like the flow and inclusiveness of this book. This topic is one I have been working through actively in therapy and should be talked about more.
Thank you Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion

As someone with pretty extensive ADHD, I so appreciated the layout of this book! I am a big reader but I can definitely feel my eyes start to wander during my non-fiction romps. It was so educational and informative without being condescending. I loved how it recommended as "my advice" or "my experience" as it felt like we were in this together. My kids also have adhd so, to see traits that I didn't even necessarily associate in my own behavior, I think it was so beneficial to have gone through this manual of sorts! It was also nice to see that it wasn't medicine-biased. The drawings were fun without making it seem childish. It kept my attention far longer than I thought it would haha.

Let me tell you about this fantastic book called "The Mini ADHD Coach" by Alice Gendron. It's an absolute gem that sheds light on what it's really like to live with ADHD. I give it a solid thumbs-up!

First off, the illustrations in this book are incredibly cute and relatable. They add a touch of humor to the whole experience and make it so much fun to read. You'll find yourself nodding along and saying, "Yep, that's totally me!"

What I appreciate most about this book is how it dispels common misconceptions about ADHD. Alice Gendron, who herself has ADHD, sets the record straight and shows that ADHD comes in various forms. You don't have to fit into the stereotypical mold to have ADHD. It's a breath of fresh air to see this level of understanding and relatability.

Throughout the book, you'll discover how ADHD can impact different aspects of your life, from daily routines to relationships. The tips and daily hacks provided are incredibly helpful. They offer practical strategies for dealing with strong emotions, understanding ADHD expressions, and working with your brain rather than against it.

I must also mention the glossary of ADHD language included in the book. It's a valuable resource that demystifies terms like "analysis paralysis," "hyperfocus," and "time blindness." It helps to build a solid foundation of understanding and empowers readers to navigate their ADHD journey with confidence.

"The Mini ADHD Coach" made me feel seen and understood. It's like having a friendly guide who gets you and offers support every step of the way. Whether you have ADHD or want to gain a better understanding of it, this book is a must-read.

In a world where ADHD is often misunderstood, Alice Gendron's book is a refreshing and enlightening resource. It shows that you're not alone and that thriving with ADHD is absolutely possible. So grab a copy, dive in, and embrace your unique brain.

Thank you to Netgalley and Chronicle Books, Chronicle Prism for the eARC.

The Mini ADHD Coach is an excellent introductory guide to ADHD, for both people who have it (or think they may have it) and the people who love them. I also enjoyed that it was primarily illustration-based with small blurbs of text rather than a text-heavy guide, as I think that will increase its accessibility to young people and people who can't focus on reading large blocks of text.

I really enjoyed this book. I would honestly give it 4.5 stars if that was an option. My biggest difficulty with this book was that the author recommended lots of seemingly very helpful websites and services without actually providing the names or any other information to help us find and download them!

I appreciate the visuals in the book. Someone living with ADHD, deeply appreciates the fact that the author took the time to list all available options to help with the complexities of daily living. This is definitely a book. I would recommend to anyone struggling with ADHD. It is beautifully written. Thank you so much for the visuals and guidance.

This book is accurately titled and it’s a good resource for anyone on their ADHD journey. At the beginning, I thought maybe this was just for those with a new diagnosis since it was all basic information, but the middle and the end had good tips! It was also nice to read a quick book with cute pictures that confirmed that my brain isn’t completely broken. I always struggle with star ratings, so while this book isn’t what I would consider the same tier of my five star ratings (I’m not that picky…but you know), for what this book is, it deserves a high rating!

I thought this was an engaging way to talk about ADHD. As a person diagnosed at a young age with it, I am still learning how to cope as an adult. This will be nice to have in our store!

I was excited to find this on NetGalley- I follow the author’s Instagram and I love their posts. I think that as someone with ADHD, I am not necessarily the the best audience for this book- a lot of things covered are things I know. However, I think it is a GREAT book to give to someone who is either trying to figure out if they fit the ADHD profile or trying to understand someone they love who has ADHD. It is a great start for a beginner for sure, and as always I found the content and the images validated my experience. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this e-arc.

An inclusive guide to ADHD that explores its diverse types, symptoms, diagnoses, and misconceptions, and shares how to work with your ADHD brain to fully understand yourself.

Diagnosed at 29, Alice Gendron offers full and supportive insight into life with ADHD, addresses common challenges and hurdles, and provides tips and ADHD hacks that will help you to get things done and live a more peaceful daily life. This illustrated and informative guide is a must-have for anyone looking to better understand ADHD and how to thrive with ADHD.

How to emotionally process your ADHD diagnosis.
How ADHD can impact your daily life, from getting your morning started to time management, dating, making dinner, and more.
What ADHD expressions, such as analysis paralysis, hyperfocus, and time blindness, really mean.
ADHD hacks like habit-stacking and gamification to try out and find the solutions that fit your life.

As someone who has long suspected I’m dealing with undiagnosed ADHD, this was a surprisingly helpful resource. Filled with lots of information in easy-to-digest bites, this is a great way to provide those struggling with adhd additional tools and resources- and to feel more empowered to seek help.

I will definitely be returning to this frequently.

This was informative without being preachy, and I learned a few new strategies for managing my own ADHD. A great balance of charm and information.

This is a superb book for people who have ADHD and people who want to learn more about ADHD. I love how the author explains the traits, history, and common symptoms of ADHD. It teaches you about the meaning of ADHD and how it affects people. Some people seem to believe that only boys have ADHD, when really both men and women can have ADHD. I also love how the author gives advice and tips on how to maintain ADHD. Thing only one nitpick I have is the art style in the book.

While the art style is not that bad, but sometimes it can feel empty. I think it's really neat. The books feature different ADHD; I like how the author discuss their experiences with ADHD. Overall, I think this is really a great book that helps educate people about ADHD and gives great tips and advice to people who have ADHD.

A great tool for learning about ADHD in small bite size pieces!

I really appreciated the artwork along with the formatting of the book. I would have liked to see some more medical and scientific information and references also brought in, but other than that I think this book is a great tool for anyone to use and learn from. I already have a list of tips that this book recommended to start trying!

This was absolutely a book I needed to read. I've been struggling with my ADHD for years. I felt like I was being heard throughout the book because it highlighted a lot of things I've dealt with. It had a lot of helpful information in it that I hope will help me get a handle on my ADHD.

For anyone who is struggling to understand ADHD as an adult or even if you have a child who has ADHD this book is very helpful.

The Mini ADHD Coach by Alice Gendron delivers on its promise to provide hacks to make life easier for those of us with ADHD. As an adult who has just started to properly manage my ADHD, I can't wait to put some of the recommendations into practice.

I received a review copy of this book from the author/publisher through NetGalley for my honest review. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Reading this book made me want to get evaluated for ADHD because I related to it SO MUCH. I would definitely recommend this to my library for purchase.

I LOVED reading this book!! I have AuDHD and it's so nice to be validated, as well as given support. I am definitely purchasing this for my library's collection!
