AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER — MORE THAN 100,000 COPIES SOLD!
The engaging, uplifting antidote to traditional ADHD books (which, let's be honest, if you have ADHD you'd never read anyway).
You live in a world that wasn't designed for you. A world where you're expected to sit still, stay quiet, and focus. Because of the way your brain is wired, you can feel like you’re failing at life. But you are not failing. You are awesome.
Award-winning content creators Kim and Penn Holderness are on a mission to reboot how we think about the unfortunately named "attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder." As always, they are doing it by looking in the mirror, because they don't just study ADHD; they live it.
Penn was in college when he was diagnosed with ADHD, although the signs of having a brain that worked just a little bit differently had been there since he was a kid. Rather than view the diagnosis as a curse or give in to feelings of inadequacy or failure, he took a different approach, one that he wants to share with fellow ADHDers and the people who care about them.
Drawing on their often-hilarious insights and the expertise of doctors, researchers, and specialists; Kim and Penn provide fun, easy-to-digest advice and explanations, including:
- What it's actually like to live with an ADHD brain.
- How to find humor in the pitfalls, sob stories, and unbelievable triumphs (like the time they won The Amazing Race!) that come with ADHD.
- How to tackle the challenges ADHD presents with a positive outlook.
- Targeted tools and techniques to play to your unique strengths.
- Fun extras like ADHD Bingo, an ode to cargo pants, and what the world would look like if ADHDers were in charge.
Take it from Penn: Having ADHD can be scary, but it comes with incredible upsides, including creativity, hyperfocus, and energy. You might even say it's kind of awesome. Whether you have ADHD or want to support someone else in their journey, this is the guide you need to make the life you want.

Insightful, engaging, practical, and entertaining
As a parent of two ADHD kids, this audiobook is terrifically useful and engaging. There are lots of practical tips, which have been helpful in our household. Plus the information is delivered with the Holderness Family's characteristic humour, wit, and warmth. Highly recommended (also pick up anything by Dr Russell Barkley as an adjunct).

Sooo relatable
This book is great, I’ve struggled to find informative and engaging content to help educate my non-adhd partner about what’s going on inside my head, and the fact that Penn and Kim often discuss situations from both perspectives is fantastic, for both me and my partner

not awsome
the message has sentiment but it is basically all about the author & his wife . the narrating becomes very tedious with a repetitive style of dialogue . l wouldnt recommend it as l couldn't finish even though one of my major ADHD traits is having to finish the task . dfntly not Awsome
