Your Brain's Not Broken: Strategies for Navigating Your Emotions and Life with ADHD (A Playbook for Neurodivergent Men and Women with Tools for Coping with ADHD)

Amazing book. This book helps people to truly understanding ADHD and ways to manage the symptoms that medication does not always manage. Great read for those with ADHD or those who have people with ADHD in their life. This book goes beyond the attention and hyperactive aspects of ADHD and talks about the forgotten symptoms.

This book is an ADHD must have!!!!! I have recommended it to countless friends. Whether you want to learn more for yourself or someone you love, I absolutely recommend it. It helped me understand myself and my family so much more.

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

This book really clicked with my brain. I like how it was broken down in manageable chunks, sometimes by paragraph. But it was also not super distracting. It made it easier yo focus back on. I liked the information provided and the way that emotions were a big part of what was talked about. While there were some skill suggestions, it was more about what works for you rather than this should work for everyone with ADHD.

This book was very much needed. I have a much better understanding of ADHD and it's impact on my life!

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!

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!!!!

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!
