ADHD Brains Don't Come in One Size

A Realistic Guide to Understanding Adult ADHD and Finding What Works for You (Overcoming Adult ADHD Challenges)

De: Amy Harper

Narrado por: Marissa DuBois

Ever feel like ADHD advice was written for everyone… except you?

Have you tried all the "proven" ADHD strategies for adults and still feel like you're falling behind?

Does every planner, system, or ADHD workbook promise life-changing results—yet somehow, they never work for you?

Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, life is just harder with an ADHD brain?

If you answered yes, you're not alone.

Let’s be real: ADHD isn’t one-size-fits-all. And most advice out there? It’s not built for the way neurodivergent minds actually work. You’ve probably tried every ADHD coping skill and productivity hack, only to watch everything fall apart after a few days. You start motivated, telling yourself this time will be different—but then the system fails, and you’re left frustrated, overwhelmed, and exhausted.

Great for Beginners

Harper’s approach is compassionate and realistic, and I really appreciated how she focused on adapting strategies to fit your unique ADHD brain. The section on workplace challenges was particularly helpful for me. However, if you’ve already read a lot about ADHD, you might find that much of the information isn’t completely new. Still, it’s a great resource, especially for those who are just beginning to understand their ADHD.

Better Than Therapy for My ADHD

This book helped me understand myself in ways therapy hadn’t. Harper’s insights into ADHD emotions, energy levels, and productivity challenges are spot on. If you’re neurodivergent and exhausted from pretending to be neurotypical—start here.

Validating and empowering

This book felt like a warm hug and a wake-up call all at once. It validated so many feelings I’ve had—especially the frustration of trying and "failing" with popular ADHD systems. Instead of blame, it offered understanding and tools that match the way my brain really works. Highly recommend to anyone who feels like they’ve been spinning their wheels.

The real talk i needed

So many ADHD books are too clinical or preachy—this one was real. The tone is honest, encouraging, and refreshingly down-to-earth. It helped me feel less alone and gave me actionable ideas I could immediately try, without pressure to be perfect. It's now my go-to ADHD resource.

Gentle, Empowering, and Insightful

Harper approaches ADHD with compassion, not judgment. She offers permission to stop trying to “fix” yourself and instead work with your strengths. The audiobook made me cry, laugh, and most importantly—hope again.

Incredibly Helpful!

This book helped me understand my ADHD in a way that no other book has. Instead of trying to "fix" myself, I now see that I just need different strategies. The book covers so many important areas—work, relationships, emotions—and gives practical ways to manage them. The narration by Marissa DuBois was engaging and easy to follow. I’ve already recommended this audiobook to several friends with ADHD!

Exactly What I Needed

I’ve read countless ADHD books, but none have resonated like this one. Amy Harper acknowledges that ADHD brains are all different and don’t fit into a single system. The book helped me understand why so many productivity hacks failed me in the past and how to create strategies that actually work for my brain. The section on emotional regulation was a game-changer—no more spiraling out of control! Marissa DuBois' narration made it even more engaging. If you’re tired of ADHD advice that doesn’t work, this book is a must-listen!

A lifeline for the ADHD adult

This audiobook came at just the right time in my life. I was burnt out from trying to fit into systems that never worked for me, and this book reminded me that I don’t have to. I love that it helps you build your own plan and doesn’t shame you for being different. If you’ve been struggling, this one is a game-changer.

A Survival Guide for ADHD Brains

I’ve listen a lot of ADHD books, but none have been as helpful as this one. Harper explains why traditional systems fail ADHD brains and provides realistic alternatives that actually work. Her approach is kind, non-judgmental, and incredibly validating. The section on workplace struggles and advocating for yourself was especially eye-opening for me. I feel more confident now, knowing that I don’t have to force myself into neurotypical systems to succeed. This book will change lives!

Finally, a Book That Gets ADHD

I've read dozens of ADHD books, but this one felt like it was written for me. The tone is compassionate and real, and the strategies aren’t rigid—they’re customizable. I finally feel like I’m allowed to manage ADHD my way, not force myself into neurotypical molds.
