Praise for Unapologetically ADHD
"Nikki and Pete know how to get things done. They know how to work with your ADHD--not around it, against it, or despite it. Unapologetically ADHD strikes just the right balance of great strategies without being too complicated or annoying. And because Nikki and Pete are so fun, you'll want to read this all the way to the end. That's right, not just buying all of a book, but actually reading all of it, too."
--ARI TUCKMAN, PsyD, MBA, ADHD thought leader, author and international presenter
"Unapologetically ADHD is a wonderful treatise for the mind that struggles with focus and action. Kindly written, Kinzer and Wright argue that managing ADHD is not about struggling with something wrong but is instead a relationship one can develop with their self. Lighthearted moments judiciously weave through the serious and practical, giving rise to a sense of lived experience. An ode to making tea, in particular, had me smiling throughout."
