""My neurodivergent brain needed a book like this. Through laughter, and some tears, Darcy Michael’s Attention Seeker is a roadmap on how to live your best life with ADHD. Embrace it, honey."" —Jonathan Van Ness, comedian and television personality “Dear reader, it took many reminders and follow up reminders to get me to write this endorsement of Darcy Michael’s book, because guess who else is neurodivergent? Me, that’s who! Darcy tells the tale of the struggles and triumphs in his life with humor and humanity. If you’re careful though, you can avoid the humanity and just enjoy the humor.” —Dave Foley, actor and comedian “How does someone with ADHD finish a book? Especially one that is so impressive, touching and funny. This glimpse into Darcy and Jer’s marriage (and life) reveals Darcy to be the playful genius that so many have come to love. And this brilliant book is a user’s guide to how to live with joy whether you have ADHD or not.” —Bruce McCulloch, actor and comedian “Darcy is one of the funniest people I've ever met—being in his presence is always a joy. This book is like being in his company, but with the added bonus of being able to put it down.” —Daniel Sloss, comedian
