    I cried when I read this because I’ve never seen my experience captured so thoroughly and compassionately anywhere before. This book has already changed my life for the better.

    A really well put together resource. I was pretty blown away by how many sections apply to me right now at this time in my life. And conveniently she offers good sections to pair together and exercises from other sections that could help with any specific problem! The cover is lovely to touch, the paper is HELLA nice quality, and the explanations and introductions are clear and relatable and nonjudgmental.
    My only reasons for 4 stars instead of 5:
    – pen band is very stretchy, pen keeps flipping around and tugging on things in my bag. I’ll fix this with some nylon.
    – paper that is on the inside of the cover is peeling off the corners. I’ll fix it with a strong adhesive.
    – I wish there were more pages of blank exercises!! But I know that can’t be helped, the page limit was reached. 🙁

    Super excited. Bought one for my partner too and we’re excitedly walking through it together and I think it’ll help with accountability. Thank you for making such a wonderful resource.

    I’m really grateful for a book like this. It’s filled with so much information to help me identify the root of the things I struggle with. Admittedly, the bigger things are harder for me to take immediate action, but reading this book makes me feel like there will always be someone in my corner.

    Thank you for all your effort and energy you put in this anti-planner.

    This is the BEST resource I have ever found. I have ADHD, I work with young people with ADHD, and in all of the training and reading I’ve done, I have never ever had something like this. I want to buy a whole box and start giving them out like candy at Halloween.

    (and in case you think this review is just written by the author to sell copies, I can guarantee that it still works while upside-down in Australia. I keep my copy in the front pouch of my kangaroo for easy access.)

    My favorite and most useful book I own… Not only has it helped me, its also helped my son, my partner, my sister, and my mother.
    I recommend it to everyone, its just a household necessity now
