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)

By: Amy Harper

Narrated by: 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.

Finally, a Book That Gets It

So many ADHD books make you feel broken. Not this one. The author highlights how diverse ADHD experiences are and gives you space to find what actually works for you. I felt empowered, not judged.

The Most Honest ADHD Guide I’ve Heard

This isn’t another audiobook full of unrealistic hacks. It’s about figuring out your way of doing things. I loved how it kept reminding me that there’s no one right answer, and that’s okay. It felt very real, very human.

More Than a Book—It’s a Lifeline

If you’ve ever felt broken by your ADHD, this book is for you. Harper’s writing and DuBois’s narration combine to create something truly special. I finished the book feeling lighter, seen, and ready to try again.

Made Me Feel Less Alone

Reading this felt like talking to a friend who really understands ADHD. It validated so many things I’ve felt but couldn’t explain. The stories and examples are incredibly relatable. I cried more than once just from the relief of not feeling broken.

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!

No More Cookie-Cutter Advice

So many ADHD books give the same advice: use a planner, set reminders, make a checklist. This book goes deeper. It helped me figure out why those things never worked for me—and how to build systems that actually fit the way my brain operates.

Like Having a Wise Friend in My Ear

This audiobook had such a warm tone. I didn’t feel lectured or judged. It was like a friend sharing what they’ve learned from their own experience, hoping it might help me too. I loved that vibe.

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.

A Realistic, No-Guilt Approach

I loved that this audiobook didn’t try to make me feel guilty for struggling. It treated ADHD like a real part of life, not something to “fix” overnight. That attitude alone made it so much easier to absorb the advice.
