Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Little Book of Resilience
Cheryl Rickman · 2019
🎙 Narrated by Camilla Rockley
56/100
👎 Skip It
Rickman's background in positive psychology gives this a credible foundation, and the exercises are practical, but at under 90 minutes it plays more like an introduction than a real dig into resilience. Camilla Rockley's narration is solid and familiar from the rest of the Gaia 'Little Books' series, but the format itself just doesn't have much room to earn a stronger recommendation.
