Conrad Miller · 2019
🎙 Narrated by Heath Douglass
55/100
👎 Skip It
Sixty-one daily practices give this book a structured appeal, and readers who engaged with it found the exercises helpful for emotional regulation and grief, but the recurring feedback about basic depth and editorial roughness is hard to overlook. For an audiobook especially, navigation issues and polish problems compound the reading experience. Heath Douglass narrates without any documented reaction from listeners, which is a neutral but not encouraging sign.
