About this audiobook
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. You and others may see this difference in circuitry as somehow wrong or incomplete. It isn't. 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 explains how ADHD affects every aspect of your life. You'll finally understand why you think, feel, and act the way you do. Dr. Rosier applies her years of coaching others to offer you the critical practical tools that can dramatically improve your life and relationships.
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is changing my life. I was recently diagnosed, age 37, and not only do I feel intrinsically understood but this book has helped me understand myself. This is not only huge to me but it has practical exercises to help me learn to manage and monitor my intense emotions, making sure I'm doing things for myself without feeling guilt or shame. If you have ADHD, or if a loved one or friend does, I highly recommend this book to help bridge the way to a happier, healthier life.
