About this listen

Bloomsbury presents ADHD Unpacked, an essential guide to surviving and thriving with adult ADHD, written and read by Alex Conner and James Brown, the hosts of the hit ADHD podcast, The ADHD Adults.

This audiobook features an exclusive bonus episode of The ADHD Adults podcast.

'Essential reading' Tom Watson

Think you have ADHD and looking for help?
Recently diagnosed and thinking, what now?
Looking to support and understand an adult with ADHD in your life?

From the hosts of The ADHD Adults comes this accessible, authentic and unfiltered guide to understanding adult ADHD. You'll find science-backed facts on what ADHD actually is, how it shows up in everyday life, personal reflections (sometimes painful, often hilarious) and tips and tools for coping.

Join Alex and James as they walk you through ADHD myth-busters (it's not a trend, technology doesn't cause it and medication can be effective - 80% of people who take ADHD medication think so!), the long-held perceptions of ADHD (did you know that it was once known as 'a defect of moral control'?!), to why intention and emotion regulation disorder might be a better name for it.

ADHD Unpacked is the relatable, reassuring and downright funny handbook you need to survive and thrive with ADHD.

'A true gift to the community' Hana Walker Brown, author of A Delicate Game

'A deep dive into the science, understandings and misunderstandings of ADHD' Anita Bhagwandas, author of Ugly

Such clear explanations

I have been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult myself and thought I had done a lot of research and understood my condition fairly well. Reading this book however has explained so many more details about myself that I didn't even realise were traits of ADHD and why I behave and react to situations the way I do. I wish I could get all of my family, friends and work colleagues to read it as it does a much better job of explaining me than I can do myself.

Brilliant and insightful

Brilliant and insightful, highly recommend listening. As a fan of the podcast I was keen to listen to this and I was so glad I did. Really informative and of course snippets of the humour I’m used to hearing on the podcast. I really enjoyed the bonus podcast at the end. Thank you James and Alex for all you do to bring knowledge and understanding of ADHD to us all. You are amazing and I love your humour. Missed Mrs AuDHD but hopefully she can join you in the next book!

The definitive ADHD encyclopedia

Stella work from Alex and James in creating this all-encompassing Bible on ADHD and it's causes, stigma, myths, best-practices and more. This is an informative and approachable dive into the disorder & it's clear from minute one that the authors are sympathetic, knowledgeable & a perfect intersection between science, empathy & humour. 5 stars 🌟

I wish everyone could listen to this

Thank you Alex and James so much for writing this book. I wish i could get a copy for all my friends and family to listen to (all 3 of them) as it helps explain so much that I just cannot put into words when trying to help others understand what a struggle ADHD can be. This and your podcasts help so many feel seen and understood. I cant even imagine how hard it was to actually get written and published so once again thank you.
If you or someone you care about has ADHD please please listen to this

Mandatory read for employers!

For us regular listeners of the podcast, I think we knew what we were getting with this book, and it totally delivered. A funny, educational, heartfelt deep dive into ADHD. I'll be encouraging all my friends and loved ones to read it.

On a side note: for fans of this book, I'd also recommend reading James's Biography - which was written in 1897 by Bram Stoker. Because he's a Dracula.
