Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Fearless Public Speaking: Help for People in a Hurry!
Lynda Hudson · 2012
🎙 Narrated by Lynda Hudson (clinical hypnotherapist, self-narrated)
45/100
👎 Skip It
This is a guided self-hypnosis session, not a speaking course — it might do exactly what it promises for the right listener, but it's too narrow to call a real resource on public speaking. Worth flagging that hypnosis itself gives some faith backgrounds pause; and the narration is a slow, trance-inducing therapeutic voice, deliberately not meant for casual or background listening.
✦ 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: Hypnosis format may conflict with some listeners' faith-based reservations about hypnotherapy — worth a heads-up, not a hard block. We still scored it 45; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: fine Calm, professional hypnotherapy delivery by Lynda Hudson — well suited to its purpose but explicitly not for driving, background, or casual listening.
