Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Micro-Resilience
Bonnie St. John & Allen P. Haines · 2017
🎙 Narrated by Bonnie St. John and Allen P. Haines (author-narrated)
74/100
👍 Worth It
This is a keeper for anyone running on fumes — bite-sized, science-backed tricks you can use between meetings, not just on vacation. The story-science-solution format gets a little repetitive by the back half, but it never feels padded or fluffy. Bonnie and Allen narrate their own book with warmth, so the audio is genuinely worth your commute time.
