The Black Man's Handbook to Living with ADHD

5 Ways to Create a Better Tomorrow No Matter How You're Feeling Today

By: Vernon T. Foster II

Narrated by: Vernon T. Foster II

Millions of black men battle with ADHD. They were never diagnosed, misinformed, or don't ask for help. Their marriages, careers, relationships, and mental health are casualties of the daily struggle. But it doesn't have to be this way.

There hasn’t been a handbook that articulates the ADHD black experience until now. There's no longer a need to feel shame, feel alone, or judge one’s self. Black men now have practical steps to create a better tomorrow, no matter how they’re feeling today.

Reflecting on his personal life and career after getting fired from and quitting his 14th job, Vernon T. Foster II started asking some hard questions. Those questions led to his ADHD diagnosis at 36, and his mission became clear: help other black men understand the role ADHD plays in all aspects of their lives and a better way to thrive.

In this audiobook, Foster connects the dots in a way that's real, relatable, and rooted in experience. His Five Ways Forward offers a tool kit and foundation to get started and build upon. The audiobook is short by design. There’s no hype. What you see is what you get. A perspective from someone living it daily with a message of hope and inspiration to keep going.

A lighthouse in the abyss

Thank you for helping me. The first step to change is insight and now I have it to show up as my best self.

A breath of fresh air

I thought I was alone in this I’m glad the way I think makes sense

Great quick read!

I loved the vulnerability and emphasis on being seen and heard. I think chapter 5 had a lot of practical solutions to consider.
