Self-help β¦ Penny’s Take
Strength, Support, Setbacks and Solutions
David Best Β· 2014
76/100
π Worth It
Best's research-backed approach to recovery as a developmental, community-embedded process is genuinely valuable and fills a real gap in the literature. The combination of personal narratives with a theoretical model gives it both heart and rigor. This is primarily a book for professionals and researchers rather than individuals early in recovery β the academic density will slow down general readers β but in the right hands it's a strong resource.
β¦ Penny’s Take β 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 β not a page-by-page personal one. The gold β Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
