Adult ADHD Starter Guide
The Brutally Honest First Step to Understanding and Managing Your Neurodivergent Brain
by Amy Harper
About the book
– Are you tired of advice that sounds amazing at first, until you actually try it?
– Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, you’re still falling behind?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone.
Let’s be honest for a moment: Living with ADHD is hard. Like, really hard. And most of the advice out there? It’s not built for your brain. You’ve probably tried so many different strategies and somehow, you end up right back at square one. It’s not your fault. The truth is, ADHD brains need different solutions.
This book isn’t another collection of cookie-cutter tips or empty promises. Adult ADHD Starter Guide is about being honest—sometimes brutally so—and giving you the tools to understand your brain and start making life easier. Not perfect, just easier. And it all starts with one small, manageable win at a time.
Imagine this:
· Waking up and actually finishing that one task you’ve been avoiding forever.
· Ending your day with less guilt and a little more pride.
· Finally feeling like you get your ADHD—and maybe even yourself.
Why This Book is Different:
It’s Realistic: No empty promises. No sugar-coating. No “superpowers” hype. You won’t “master” your ADHD overnight, but you will start making real progress—progress that sticks.
It Gets You: Written by someone who gets what it’s like to live with ADHD, this book is practical, relatable, and even a little funny. (Because if you’ve lost your keys for the third time today, laughing beats crying, right?)
It’s Honest: Life with ADHD isn’t about perfection. It’s about finding what works for you—without the guilt.
What’s Inside?
- Why Conventional Advice Fails: “Just try harder” and “stick to a rigid schedule” sound great—unless you’ve tried them. Learn why these approaches fall short and what to do instead.
- Understanding Your ADHD Brain: Ever wonder why starting something feels impossible, but you can binge-watch your favorite series like it’s your full-time job? This book explains how ADHD works (spoiler: it’s not your fault).
- Breaking Free from Guilt: Stop tearing yourself down for what didn’t happen today. Start celebrating the small wins that actually move you forward.
- Practical First Steps: This isn’t about overhauling your entire life overnight. It’s about finding the little changes that make today manageable—and tomorrow brighter.

· Help you break the cycle of guilt over “failures.”
· Show you how to make real, manageable progress without feeling overwhelmed.
· Give you the tools to celebrate the small wins that actually matter (yes, they count).
