Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder by Gabor Maté
$17This book provides an incredible look at the origins of ADD and its relationship to generational trauma. If you are an adult with ADD and have young children, it can be difficult emotionally, as you may be trying to understand your own childhood while coming to grips with how these patterns are showing up in your own parenting. All this said, I found the book to be revealing and totally unique to anything out there on the topic.

The New Traditional by Darryl Carter
$30What I like about Darryl’s design approach is that it places comfort front and center in each room and really encourages you to be yourself in the way you bring a room together. I have found myself referring back to this book often as a “North Star”—the advice within is classic yet unpretentious in ways that are personal and not at all flashy.

Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney
$16I can’t get enough of Sally Rooney and was waiting patiently for this book to come out! Her writing reads like you’re talking with an old friend you haven’t caught up with in a long time. I love her prose and conversation style.

The Anatomy of Anxiety by Ellen Vora, M.D.
$24My ears perked up at Dr Vora’s explanation of her term “false anxiety.” It’s a polarizing way to define the physical and environmental factors that contribute to a likeness of anxiety, rather than a pure chemical imbalance. This is not an easy line to toe and I read her book with some hesitation.
What I loved was how she was able to hold multiple truths of an experience with anxiety at the same time while challenging the ways we’ve treated mental illness in Western medicine. It reflects her unique experience and training, both as a licensed psychiatrist and functional medicine expert.
