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.

I was diagnosed at age 38 and WOW has it ever made things make sense!
I pre-ordered this book because - who doesn't love Kim and Pen?!
What I didn't expect was to listen to this and think "OMGosh - my HUSBAND makes so much sense now!!!!!!!!"
He was diagnosed a few months ago, along with our other 2 children (a family of 6 all with ADHD is a fun place to be, let me tell you!) and the understanding and compassion I felt not only for myself, but for my husband too was unfathomable.
My kids have been supported differently with diet, exercise, medications and sleep (all of them needing different approaches) but figuring out that I don't interrupt people because I am an ass, but because it is a component of ADHD was mind blowing. And realizing that my husband doesn't see the forest through the trees (the mess through the house) wasn't because he was being lazy or selfish, but because of the different brain he has. I have recommended this book to any and all of my friends and family that have spouses with ADHD and it has changed their lives too! A MUST READ!
Changed my LIFE!
