Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Count Your Blessings: The Healing Power of Gratitude and Love
Dr. John Demartini · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Tom Gallagher
57/100
👎 Skip It
Demartini's got a genuine motivational-teacher pedigree and the exercises are practical enough, but this leans New Age/law-of-attraction rather than anything with real evidence behind it, and there's no independent review coverage to lean on. Tom Gallagher's narration is solid, standard-issue nonfiction delivery, so if you're already sold on the affirmations approach the listen itself won't bother you.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Secular New Thought/law-of-attraction framing rather than explicitly faith-based, worth flagging for faith-specific readers even though nothing objectionable was found. We still scored it 57; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.

🎙 Narration: fine Tom Gallagher delivers a standard single-voice motivational-nonfiction read, nothing special but not a problem.
