Dyslexia Explained

For years, people with dyslexia have been told they "can’t". This book is here to tell you that you can.

Living with dyslexia can feel like running an uphill marathon, backwards, with a backpack full of rocks no one else has to carry. We often have to work ten times harder than anyone else just to reach the finish line, let alone win.

Dyslexia Explained is here to change that. Drawing on his personal experience, his clinical practice, and the latest research, Dr Jacob Santhouse explores how dyslexia affects all aspects of adult life and offers transformative strategies to help. With advice on career, relationships, parenting, finances, health and wellbeing, and so much more, each chapter provides the tools to overcome challenges and unlock your potential in everyday life.

Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed or have struggled with dyslexia since childhood, this empowering guide will help you better understand your brain, utilize your unique strengths, and thrive both professionally and personally.
