Matilda Boseley

Matilda Boseley’s adult ADHD diagnosis was a massive, earth-shattering event. She was given a prescription but had no idea what ADHD meant for her identity, her relationships or her future. Twelve months of confusion later, journalist Matilda embarked on an epic voyage to figure out what’s really happening in the stormy seas of the ADHD brain and write the guide she wished she’d had. The Year I Met My Brain is the ultimate travel companion for navigating and enjoying life as an ADHD adult, covering: - what adult ADHD symptoms look like - why so many ADHDers (especially females) are missed as kids - how the disorder impacts our relationships, careers and self-esteem - why we unfairly treat ourselves like failures – and how to find self-forgiveness and healing - practical tips for social and organisational wins - and, most importantly, how to make our lives work to fit our brains rather than trying to force our brains to fit our lives. Uplifting, empowering, deeply researched and sparkling with 'a-ha' moments, The Year I Met My Brain is an invaluable resource for ADHDers and those who love them.

A travel companion for adults who have just found out they have ADHD

The Year I Met My Brain

As an ADHDer, sometimes you feel stuck – and the unrelenting demands of adult life in a neurotypical world certainly don’t help. Matilda Boseley knows it because she has lived it and learned a lot since her diagnosis at age 23. In her first book, The Year I Met My Brain, journalist Matilda took a deep dive into adult ADHD to understand how it all works. Now, she’s written The ADHD Brain Buddy: a treasure trove of practical tips, activities and scientific insights to help you make it through the hard days, utilise the great ones and reflect on the impact ADHD has had throughout your life. All in the pursuit of making your world easier to navigate – and way more fun. Engaging and interactive, this illustrated workbook offers: - Practical strategies: Learn tricks and skills to help you sail through common scenarios across work, health and self-care, finances, life admin, relationships and more. Even boring to-do lists become a gamified adventure! - Expert insights: Benefit from the wisdom of ADHD specialists, including psychologist Janelle Booker and ADHD coach Dr Michele Toner, to navigate challenges with confidence. - Self-compassion: Cultivate a kinder relationship with yourself by recognising your emotions, understanding your limits and celebrating your unique strengths. - Fun and wit: Enjoy a good-humoured approach that makes ADHD life both manageable and enjoyable. Free from guilt, shame or pressure, The ADHD Brain Buddy meets you where you are – whether you’re surviving, thriving or reflecting. It’s the perfect helpful companion for your neurodivergent journey. ‘Offers guidance without judgement, encouragement without the pressure, and a whole lot of humour and heart. I wish I’d had it sooner.’ - Steph Claire Smith
