Resumen del Editor

Read by the authors.

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.

Editorial Review

A first-hand account
April is Neurodiversity and Autism Acceptance Month, and as a mama to two neurodivergent kiddos, the atypical is very typical for me. I’m constantly in search of listens to educate me further about the various intricacies of their fascinating little minds. And while parenting books on the subject abound, it’s rare to find one that’s authored by someone with the same neuro-difference. Enter ADHD Is Awesome. Penn Holderness was diagnosed in his twenties, and alongside his wife Kim, they share digestible insights into what it’s like living with ADHD. I can’t wait to listen and get a firsthand account. (P.S. Recognize their names? They won The Amazing Race in 2022!) —Katie O., Audible Editor

Awesome!

My ADHDer husband and I listened together. I appreciated the insight into his mind and the things that make him different, special, and awesome. I especially appreciated the tips for me as someone who loves him. Great, fun narration. Thanks for writing this book and putting it together in such an accessible way. 😊

Great Read

I loved everything about this book. It was funny, educational, and didn't make excuses but offered plenty of explanation.

Eye Opening

While my diagnosis came back only depression acting like ADHD after being evaluated, my Psychiatrist disagrees with the other Dr.'s findings. Before being diagnosed, I came to the realization that I probably did have ADHD and when I told my husband about this crazy epiphany, he was like, "well, duh!" I asked him why he never said anything if he assumed that was the case and he told me he figured I was diagnosed as a child and had just never found anything to help. My mind was blown!

I tend to agree with my Psychiatrist, rather than my diagnosing Psychologist because my depression is under control for the most part now and I still exhibit so many ADHD symptoms.

When I started listening to this book, which I pre-ordered because I adore the Holderness family, I was overwhelmed. The letter that Penn wrote to the non-ADHDers felt like everything I've been feeling for YEARS and have never been able to express properly. Thank you for putting words to my feelings. I will never be able to fully express how much that means to me.

Hearing the Strategies Penn and your son use to get through ADHD life was extremely helpful! Hearing what Kim and other friends and family live, and have a hard time with, regarding the ADHDers in their lives was good to hear, heart warming and heart breaking.

I really hope I can convince my husband to read this as well. I think it will help him see things from my perspective and also realize that I do indeed love him, respect him, and support him, even when it doesn't always seem like that is the case.

Next time I listen to it, which will hopefully be soon, it will be with a notebook and pen for notes, not just while I'm doing chores around the house and driving to and from work. There is so much valuable information in here! Thank you again for a beautiful and inspiring book!

Great for Discouraged ADHD folks

This book is an excellent resource for people who have a loved one recently diagnosed with ADHD. It demystifies a lot of things and helps you to get a more balanced view of what is actually happening. Very encouraging and easy to understand, as well as entertaining and occasionally hilarious!

Next book!!!

Thank you for making my adhd feel normal and not the deficits that are daily struggles. Newest most difficult struggle I’ve ever had is managing my adhd while raising children (2 out of my 4 have adhd) who have different aspects, but similar struggles. Next book idea! Raising children with adhd while managing your own. Thank you for making me feel empowered in my challenges in my own adhd though. Loved this book!

The personal examples and advice were most helpful.

I found it entertaining and engaging to listen to Penn and Kim read the book. I have followed them for years. I have known that my daughter has ADHD for years. My son and I also have many elements of it. We would have benefited from this advice 25 years ago! I hope they will listen to the book on their own now. I will relisten and take notes next time. Thank you!

The honesty and real life kept me engaged!

I finished the book, that is a rare thing! I raised an ADHDer and I am one. It is a struggle! I really got a lot out of this book and will be sharing with my family. Penn thanks for the reminder that I need to apologize when my brain goes off in thought and I don’t hear my amazing husband. 27 years he has loved and dealt with my quirks.
I will share this book with a lot of people and I am hopeful they get as much out of it as I did.
