Description
ADHD Encoded: Finally, a Book That Feels Like It Understands You
🧠 You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re not alone.
And if you’ve spent most of your life trying to “keep up” with a world that never felt made for you—this book might be the first that actually makes you feel seen.
ADHD Encoded isn’t just another guide.
It’s a personal conversation.
A survival map.
A quiet “me too.”
Written by Colin Granston—author, mentor, and lifelong ADHDer—this book goes far beyond surface-level advice and dives deep into what it actually means to live with a different kind of brain. From focus hacks and emotional regulation strategies, to how to build a routine that feels doable, every page is built around one goal: helping you stop fighting yourself and start working with your wiring.

This isn’t a productivity cult manual. It’s a grounding, empowering, refreshingly human book that understands the “why” behind your struggle—and gives you something better than guilt in return: permission to do it your way.

I had no idea how much I was unconsciously giving away my power until I read this book. After applying just a few of its principles, people started responding to me differently with more respect, attention, and admiration. This isn’t just a book; it’s a new way of moving through life
