About this listen

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.

What This Book Will Do for You

Make productivity work for you – Stop forcing yourself into rigid systems that always fall apart. Learn ADHD-friendly tools that actually stick. Help you regulate emotions before they take over – Practical strategies for handling frustration, rejection sensitivity, and stress without spiraling. Improve relationships without burning out – Understand how ADHD impacts communication and connection so you can strengthen relationships without guilt. Help you navigate the workplace with confidence – Learn how to manage deadlines, focus through distractions, and advocate for yourself without feeling like you’re just trying to "keep up." Guide you toward a life that works for you – No more struggling to fit into systems that weren’t built for ADHD. This book will help you create your own ADHD management plan.

ADHD Brains Don’t Fit in a Box. Your Strategies Shouldn’t Either.

This isn't about forcing yourself into another rigid ADHD for adults workbook. It’s about finding what works for you.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I enjoyed this book a lot, and it’s one of the better ADHD guides I’ve come across. The emphasis on flexibility and personalization was refreshing. However, some of the strategies were things I had heard before in other ADHD books. That said, the way they were explained made them easier to apply, so I still got a lot out of it. The narration was also excellent!

This audiobook provides excellent insights into ADHD, especially for those who are newly diagnosed or struggling to find effective strategies. Harper does a great job of emphasizing flexibility, which I appreciated. However, I found some sections a bit repetitive—certain concepts were explained multiple times in slightly different ways. Still, the overall message is fantastic, and the narration is engaging. A solid 4-star listen!

I've read so many books on ADHD, but this one actually gets how my brain works. Amy Harper doesn't just throw generic advice at you—she helps you find what actually works for your unique brain. The examples and explanations felt personal, and the narration by Marissa DuBois made it even more engaging. If you've struggled with ADHD books that feel too rigid, this is the one you need. Highly recommend!

I picked this up hoping for a few time-management tips, but it gave me so much more. Harper explores relationships, emotions, and self-acceptance in a way that’s deeply validating. The discussion on ADHD and communication was particularly insightful—I hadn’t realized how much my ADHD was affecting my interactions. I feel more confident navigating work and personal relationships now. An absolute must-listen!

This book is incredibly helpful and easy to listen to. The advice is practical, and I loved how it focuses on finding personalized strategies. My only complaint is that I wish it went into even more depth on ADHD in relationships—I wanted more examples and solutions. Still, a fantastic resource for anyone looking to understand and manage their ADHD better.

This audiobook was exactly what I needed! It helped me stop feeling like I was failing and start understanding that my brain just works differently. Harper’s insights are spot-on, and her strategies are actually realistic for someone with ADHD. The section on emotional regulation helped me stop spiraling when things don’t go as planned. Plus, the narration is fantastic—DuBois brings warmth and clarity to every chapter. I wish I had found this book years ago!

Most ADHD books make me feel like I’m failing if I can’t follow their systems. This one does the opposite—it shows you how to build strategies that work for YOU. The mix of science, personal experience, and actionable advice made it easy to relate to. I especially loved the parts on self-acceptance and emotional regulation. Marissa DuBois' narration was also excellent!

A Must-Read for ADHD Adults!

What I loved most about this book was its realistic, non-judgmental approach. So many ADHD books make it seem like you just need to “try harder” or follow rigid steps. This one acknowledges the struggle and provides flexible, adaptable strategies. Harper’s writing is engaging, and DuBois’ narration makes the content easy to digest. I walked away feeling empowered, not discouraged—definitely worth the listen!

I listened to this to better understand my partner with ADHD. It opened my eyes. Harper’s explanations are clear and compassionate, and I finally get why traditional productivity advice never works for them.
