About this listen
The Mind You Thought Was Broken Is Your Greatest Asset
Ever felt like everyone else got the rulebook for life except you?
Excelling under pressure but struggling with simple tasks?
Losing hours in distractions instead of making progress?
It’s not your fault. You’re not lazy.
And you’re not alone.
This book offers a fresh perspective on ADHD, featuring 280 real-life stories from adults who spent years undiagnosed.
Their experiences provide validation, insights, and strategies—showing that your brain isn’t broken, just wired differently.
For years, labels like disorganized, impulsive, unreliable shaped self-perception.
Many build coping mechanisms, mask struggles, and exhaust themselves trying to fit a neurotypical mold—at the cost of relationships, missed opportunities, and constant self-doubt.
But ADHD isn’t a weakness—it’s a different way of thinking.
You Weren’t Wrong, You Had ADHD reframes ADHD as a strength. Through powerful real-life stories—like Jason, a tech executive who almost lost everything before his diagnosis, and Mike, an entrepreneur who turned "scattered thinking" into his greatest asset—you’ll learn how to:
- Understand how ADHD affects daily life.
- Stop fighting your cognitive style and start using it.
- Let go of past shame and reframe struggles as strengths.
- Turn hyperfocus, creativity, and intensity into advantages.
- Build real relationships without masking who you are.
An ADHD diagnosis isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of a more fulfilling life.
