This is a book called Scattered by Gabor Mate, last name M-A-T-E, and it's a first-person narrative, a science book. It's the best book on ADHD relationships and being in a relationship with someone with ADHD I've ever come across in my life.

Why people recommend it

Scattered Minds by Dr. Gabor Maté explores the origins and healing processes associated with attention deficit disorder through a blend of first-person narrative and scientific inquiry. On an episode of On Purpose with Jay Shetty, Jay Shetty highlighted the book alongside other bestselling works by Dr. Gabor Maté, emphasizing the author's extensive impact on the understanding of trauma, stress, and addiction. Additionally, Dr. John Delony enthusiastically recommended Scattered on The Dr. John Delony Show while advising a caller who was seeking practical guidance for navigating a marriage complicated by ADHD. Delony described the text as the finest book on ADHD and interpersonal relationships he had ever encountered, urging the couple to read it together during an off-site retreat to better understand their dynamics and work through challenges collaboratively. The strong praise from podcast hosts stems from the book's empathetic yet scientifically grounded approach, which helps individuals and partners decode the neurological and emotional complexities of attention deficit disorder. By framing ADHD not merely as a set of symptoms but as a deeply rooted developmental pattern, Maté provides a roadmap for healing and mutual compassion in relationships.
