What Experts said (verbatim):
SOCIAL PROOF
"Engaging, enlightening, and actually fun. Because PlayDHD is not just a book; it is a tactical, revolutionary manifesto for the neurodivergent professional."
Laura Mears-Reynolds Founder/CEO of ADHDAF+ Charity, ADHD AF Podcast Host and Leopard Print Army Leader
"Don't let ADHD steal the joy from your life. This is an easy-to-read, really clever, and also important book that you need, and Kirsten Milliken, PhD, is exactly the wise guide that will help you find more fulfillment. She will teach you not only to make more time for fun but also to make your time more fun, even when you're doing those responsible things that you're supposed to do."
Ari Tuckman, PsyD, MBA Author of The ADHD Productivity Manual
"We spend our childhoods being told to grow up, then spend our adulthood wishing we hadn't forgotten how to play. PLAYDHD is the permission slip every adult with ADHD needs, and it may be the most important prescription you never knew you were missing."
Peter Shankman Bestselling author of the worldwide ADHD playbook Faster Than Normal
"I loved Kirsten Milliken's playful approach to mastering ADHD the moment I read her delightfully innovative book, PlayDHD: Permission to Play. Now, Kirsten brings us this even more playful second edition. I thought the first edition was unique, liberating, and joyful. This edition retains all the charm and sass of the original while offering more ideas, tricks, insights, and practices for creating a life you love. Time to play!"
Rick Green BSc. OOnt. C.M. Creator of the award-winning documentary, ADD & Loving It?! (as seen on PBS)
"I felt something I don't always feel when reading about ADHD: understood. This book shows that play isn't the opposite of productivity — it's often what makes it possible."
