Emotional Resilience
Dr Harry Barry · 2018
🎙 Narrated by Dr Harry Barry (self-narrated)
78/100
👍 Worth It
Dr. Barry puts three decades as a GP behind real, usable CBT tools for anxiety, catastrophizing, and self-acceptance, and Irish readers have made it a genuine bestseller for good reason. It covers some of the same ground as his earlier books, so longtime fans may notice overlap. He narrates it himself in a measured, clinical style that suits the material even if it's not a flashy performance.
