From the Back Cover
If you have 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 time management, organization 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 finally understand why you think, feel, and act the way you do. The result? Practical tools that can dramatically improve your personal and professional life.
"Tamara is your new best friend. She is smart and funny and has a lot of good ideas to help you better understand your ADHD. With her help, you'll create a more fulfilling life by getting more things done and feeling good about yourself while you do it. Trust me, you will love this book."--Ari Tuckman, PsyD, CST, author of four books on ADHD, including ADHD After Dark: Better Sex Life, Better Relationship
"Your Brain's Not Broken 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! Read this book!"--Brendan Mahan, MEd, MS, host of the ADHD Essentials podcast

5.0 out of 5 stars Get ready to actually get some help from this book!
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!!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, Engaging - great tips and wonderful stories
I appreciated the balance in this book - clear concepts; discussion of real issues for those with ADHD or those who love them - and what to do about it; practical application from actual coaching, and wonderful stories that give humanity to the challenges of this community (of which I am a part). I felt seen, valued - and hopeful. Marvelous balance of science, experience with actual clients, and anecdotes that were warm, inspiring and challenging.Practical application tools - worksheets, questions, models - right in the book! The author could have made a companion workbook but included it all right here.Rich, varied and diverse sources of research, information, metaphors, and examples - from Alice in Wonderland to research articles to sound theory to Dr. Who! And - written in a way so it doesn't bog down in just one area. A quick snippet of research to add credibility, the framing of a concept to build understand, then a story/anecdote to illustrate. Makes the book highly readable.Well done. I highly recommend, and have not only read it twice myself, but also sent it out to a number of friends and colleagues. (And - can't seem to find the overt religiosity referenced by another review? Are we reading the same book? None of the other reviews seem mention it either?) A great read!
5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book I've ever read on the subject of ADHD (and I've read several ) AMAZING insight.
I'm only as far as page 22 (out of 205 pages) and already finding this book more informative than any other ADD?ADHD book I've ever read. Because the PH.D. author that has ADHD herself - she has more insight and information than any book I've ever read on the subject. I'm so anxious to continue reading the rest of the book. My only negative comment is the small text - but that can be due to my own eye issues as a Senior Citizen that needs trifocals. THANK YOU
4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Work
This might be the best book I’ve ever read on a subject. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD in October and this book is about me and those of us with ADHD. As I read each passage I would say “that’s me”. It’s a life change! It lets me resons why about my past and present and about future solutions for my ADHD condition.This is one of the best books I’ve ever read!
5.0 out of 5 stars Must read!
Enjoyed reading this book. Lots of great tips if you have adhd or people around you who do. I learned some things I didn’t know and it has helped me be more supportive and understanding to others. I felt like the author knew me she was so spot on with all the behaviors and thinking that happens with adhd
5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite ADHD books I’ve read so far
I listened to this book on tape first and then loved it so much I bought a paperback copy to have always. This book really helped me understand my ADHD and how I got deep into adulthood without having any clue I had it. It also helped explain my complete burnout after a lifetime of overcompensating, overachieving and masking. It was creepy at times how closely the example stories matched actual events or conversations from my life. But I very much needed this content when I received it to be able to understand that I was not broken, just wired differently. I definitely recommend this book, especially to anyone trying to wrap their mind around a fresh diagnosis. It’s really good!
5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing
So practical and rich with insight. I'm using the workbook now to put the knowledge to action. Will read again.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazeballz 😁
I love this book. I listened to the audiobook and thought it was so useful and insightful that I needed a physical copy. If you are someone who is trying to understand ADHD, wether that's you or someone you love. GET THE BOOK!! I understood myself a lot better after reading this. I plan to reread this often for the reminder of the skills I can learn to use on a daily basis until it becomes a habit. My therapist was the one who recommended this. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!!
Hilfreiche Strategien für den Alltag
Dieses Buch hat mir gezeigt, dass ADHS mehr ist als Chaos im Kopf, es betrifft auch Emotionen und den Umgang mit Stress. Die Autorin ist selbst betroffen und arbeitet als Coach, nicht als Therapeutin. Und genau das macht die Besonderheit des Buches aus. Es geht nicht um Diagnosen, Defizite, Therapien, Dosierungen. Sondern darum, wie man im Alltag produktiv und kreativ damit umgeht. Ein sehr positives Buch. Anders als so viele Bücher über ADHS, vor allem aus dem deutschen Raum, die immer nur auf den Problemen herumreiten. Sehr positiv und praxisnah.
Great book
Great book, explains adhd in a way I hadn’t heard before really encouraging to know I wasn’t the only one and showing adhd through different stages of life whilst lightly touching on scripture too. Which was so encouraging to help me in my walk with Jesus and understanding being different too. Definitely a good read even if you don’t have adhd to understand those you love better and empathise with them
A Must-Read for ADHDers &CO. : Practical, Personal, and Relatable
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.
Enjoyed
Good introduction into understanding ADHD and some tools to navigate
get it! out of all the books this is the one
written by someone who has adhd it holds a place in my heart having situations explained, related to and understood that only someone else with adhd could convey. it truly opened myeyes to understand life long issues that felloutside the scientific explanations that fill other books and readings, and with needed care. certain habits i know can change better when understanding them , it also hits hard at childhood but like a needed hug
