"I was fascinated to see the first hand with my own eyes what it takes to have like reality TV star fame and knowing that I don't have what that takes was a sweet relief because it's a sort of fame that's not for everybody so I just sat quietly on a log until they let me go," he says. "The book is a look back at your life through the lens of ADHD but it's so much besides and I love how you write about our industry."
This week on the Penguin Podcast, we bring you a special episode: Shaparak Khorsandi in conversation with Isy Suttie live from Lattitude Festival.
Shaparak joined us to discuss her latest book, Scatter Brain: How I finally got off the ADHD rollercoaster and became the owner of a very tidy sock drawer.
The two also discuss the subtle distinctions between shame and embarrassment, memories of climbing a pear tree, the life-changing power of an ADHD diagnosis, and how being on I’m A Celebrity gave her a spiritual experience.
