Your Brain's Not Broken for Teens and Young Adults

You know what to do. You just can't always make yourself do it. If you have ADHD, you don't need to be fixed. You need to know that you are lovable, capable, and not alone--and you need a guide who actually understands how your brain works. This book is that guide. You know you experience the world differently. Focusing for hours on one thing while being unable to start another makes no sense to most people. A small comment or setback can stay with you for hours. You know what you're supposed to do--and yet following through can feel impossible. There's a reason your brain behaves this way. And once you understand it, things start to make a lot more sense. In this teen and young adult adaptation of her popular book Your Brain's Not Broken, Dr. Tamara Rosier uses humor, relatable stories, and neuroscience-backed tools to explain the real patterns behind ADHD--and give you strategies that actually work with how your brain is built, not against it. You'll get practical help with the four areas that challenge ADHD brains most: Attention--why it works the way it does, and how to work with it instead of fighting it Motivation--why starting things is so hard, and what actually helps you get moving Emotions--why small things hit so hard, and how to build more stability without shutting down Follow-through--why finishing is its own challenge, and how to change that pattern The result? Less confusion, self-doubt, and beating yourself up for things you don't fully understand yet. And more clarity, direction, and confidence as you navigate school, friendships, family, big emotions, and the life you're building next. An ideal resource for teens and young adults to read themselves--and for parents, counselors, and educators to recommend to the young people in their lives. Your brain's not broken. This book will show you exactly why--and what to do with the one you have.
