Lose the shame, love your brain, and live better with ADHD
"This is the best kind of ADHD book. You can open it up to any random page and find practical, actionable ideas. And those ideas are shared in a relatable, easy-to-understand style that makes you want to apply them!"--Brendan Mahan, MEd, MS, host of the ADHD Essentials podcast
If you have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), your brain doesn't work in the same way as a "normal," or neurotypical, brain does because it's wired differently. This difference in circuitry is not somehow wrong, incomplete, or shameful. However, it does present you with significant challenges like poor time management, lack of organizational skills, forgetfulness, trouble completing tasks, mood swings, and relationship problems.
In Your Brain's Not Broken, Dr. Tamara Rosier applies her years of coaching others to explain how ADHD affects every aspect of your life so that you can
● understand why you think, feel, and act the way you do
● dramatically improve your personal and professional life and relationships
● learn how your ADHD brain understands time, energy, and motivation
● take charge of your emotions, thought patterns, and actions for your overall emotional health
● implement practical ways to improve your ADHD and neurodivergent symptoms
Anyone with ADHD--as well as anyone who lives with or loves someone with ADHD--will find here a compassionate, encouraging guide to living well and with hope.
Also Available: Your Brain's Not Broken Workbook, a practical and interactive companion workbook that helps you apply these learnings to your own life.

Incredible resource if you are looking to learn new skills
As someone who went undiagnosed for 26 years I benefited greatly from getting a bigger picture on my emotions, boundaries, and approach to managing my adhd. While I have been medicated for the past two years, I have lacked a lot of skills to cope with and manage my symptoms, this book gave me so much to chew on and I’ll be referencing it often as I try to implement what I learned. I’m also looking forward to coaching and therapy rather than dreading it. Thanks Tamara!
A Must Read For ADHD
This is the first book I’ve read about ADHD. As someone, who isn’t officially diagnosed, but it’s obvious that I have it, this was the perfect first book. It explained so much of what I was experiencing, but didn’t know how to put into words & explained things that I experience that is normal for those with ADHD that I had no idea was. Its been very helpful in allowing me to better understand myself & how to communicate to my fiancé, friends, & co-workers. Also, if you have a loved one with ADHD, this is a great book for that too. I also love how interactive it is with the questions & action steps. It not only explains things, but also takes something negative & turns it into a positive. Very easy to read as well. I recommend taking your time with the book to process all of the information that’s in the book. I wouldn’t do more than a chapter a day.
