Your Brain's Not Broken: Strategies for Navigating Your Emotions and Life with ADHD | Guide & Workbook for Neurodivergent Adult Men & Women | Tools for Parenting ADD Children

Excellently written: empathetic, clear, well toned, detailed in a very helpful way- easy to read, easy to use but with surprising and helpful revelations, and easy to implement into life. Written BY someone with ADHD FOR those of us with ADHD. Read this one, you won't regret it.

I’ve read a few pieces on ADHD since being diagnosed and starting to learn about it over a year ago. Dr. Rosier really brought some of those pieces together and helped me fit them in place. I’m going to go back and read through this book again in paperback (I read it in Kindle with some parts paired to Audible listen & read). I got it to help track my thoughts as I dig in deeper with the workbook. Im thankful for how this book is helping me begin to develop a new overview in how I parent and relate to our young daughters. Worth a read if you are interested in a better understanding of ADHD and how it affects a lifetime in ways possibly never considered. A+

Read the book on my library app, it was so good that I had to buy a copy for myself.

Pros Very practical Easy read Relatable Genuinely encouraging Cons Ironically poor understanding of "Neuro typical people" Personally disagreed with most opinion based comments and reactions of Neuro typical people.

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and this was the first book that I've read on the subject. It's very optimistic and she gives practical advice on not only managing symptoms, like emotional deregulation, but thriving instead of just surviving. Im happy that I bought it and I will be rereading it again soon. Good luck to all of the ADHD people out there. This is a great place to start

This is a great book because, the strategies to best manage the ADHD symptoms .

It's a good combination to try. I find the exercise book useful and engaging. Being highly skeptical in general, this is a huge sign that these might work for you as well. I'm a 59-year-old woman who was only diagnosed 23 years ago.

I am an adult woman who has struggled with ADHD through my life. I still struggle with the embarrassment it has caused me and the pain of not being able to be who I thought I could become had I not had this monkey on my back--or brain? I have invested in different counselors and many books. I found out about this author from attending a seminar where she was the guest speaker. I am 63 years old and I have never found anything as enlightening and wonderful as this book and the wonderful doctor who wrote this book!! I will be forever grateful because not only do her explanations help you to understand your brain, but the ideas presented and the suggestions are SO helpful that I feel like I have FINALLY found REAL help!!! So much so that I donated my other books on the subject--and I had a small library full. I wish Dr. Rosier would write more. I want more! I want to learn more ways to manage my life and my self. While I am not through the whole book, it's been so helpful that I find myself savoring it and really, really thinking about what she's said. I honestly don't recall anything religious about this book. I have found nothing offensive at all. Quite the opposite! If you're struggling and you're trying to understand yourself (or a family member or friend), and you're trying to help yourself, this is the book for you! It's a easy read yet very informative!! I will be eternally grateful to Dr. Rosier for her writings in Additude magazine and the guest appearance she made through the seminar which introduced me to her and her philosophies. Oh..one last thing..she has ADHD. She totally understands the struggles. She is very, very kind, supportive and compassionate. One of the best books I've bought!!! SO happy!!! SO grateful!!!!

Thank you Tamara for sharing all these insights, stories and tips in this book. I felt the empathy though all of it and the strong message of the title. It was a easy but so helpful read. So thankful for people like you who are dedicated to support in such a kind, inspirational and at the same timepragmatic way.

I am enjoying reading this, along with the accompanying workbook.

I’m only on Chapter 3, but I’m already giving it 5 stars! As someone recently diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood, I’ve read a few books on the subject (6, to be exact). This one stands out because it feels incredibly tailored to individuals like me who are looking for actionable strategies to manage ADHD. Unlike other books that are either too basic or too theoretical, Rosier strikes the perfect balance. What I love most is that it offers real, practical solutions, exercises, and self-assessment questions that you can incorporate into your daily life. These suggestions feel grounded and achievable, not like an overwhelming list of abstract concepts. The book also has a wonderful narrative quality, thanks to the personal anecdotes and patient stories scattered throughout. These stories really help bring the content to life, offering a deeper connection by addressing both the general and more specific struggles ADHDers often face; issues that can sometimes get overlooked in other ADHD books. For fellow ADHDers (and bookworms), I’d also like to highlight the excellent paper quality. It makes note-taking a breeze, and the pages hold up even when you need to erase, which is usually a nightmare. I'm also attaching my personal index for those it might help. This book isn't just for those with ADHD, it's also a valuable resource for family members, friends, and partners who want to better understand and support someone with ADHD. Tamara Rosier offers insights that will help loved ones connect, empathize, and offer meaningful support, making it a great tool for improving relationships and communication. Personally, I'm passing it to my mother, who still thinks I'm oversensitive, lazy and irresponsible😅. The only thing is I wish it were translated in different languages as well. It's such public service book.

Good introduction into understanding ADHD and some tools to navigate

Well I get it now. So this is why I am how I am. Now the work begins. A great read for adults with ADHD, especially people diagnosed late in life.
