Small Talk by Richard Pink

When ‘ADHD wife’ Rox and neurotypical husband Rich asked their community of 2.5 million for the biggest ADHD struggle, the thousands of replies unveiled a shocking truth: the real enemy isn’t productivity or focus, but the toxic ADHD core beliefs we’ve internalised.

With candour and kindness, they share personal stories to highlight and reframe the 10 big lies that ADHD people believe about themselves. From ‘I am lazy’ to ‘Everybody hates me’ and ‘I quit everything I start’, Small Talk will empower ADHDers and those who love them to navigate life with compassion, humour and hope.

Learn how to:

• Identify your limiting ADHD beliefs
• Break free from neurotypical standards
• Support and understand your ADHDers
• Adopt a self-kindness mindset
• Communicate your needs & boundaries
• Celebrate the joys of ADHD

Whether you were diagnosed early or are new to the neurospicy community, Small Talk will change your relationship with yourself and others. It will help you to stop being your worst fear-leader, start bigging yourself up, and live your best neurodivergent life.
