Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Resilience Shield
Dr Dan Pronk, Ben Pronk & Tim Curtis · 2021
🎙 Narrated by Dan Pronk, Ben Pronk, and Tim Curtis (author-narrated)
79/100
👍 Worth It
Three SAS veterans building a six-strand 'resilience shield' out of Kevlar and rug-weaving metaphors sounds gimmicky until you notice the research citations backing the war-story credibility. Author narration means you hear it in their own voices, which suits the raw, first-person material even without a pro narrator's polish. Worth it, especially for readers who want a systems approach dressed in genuine grit.

▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: good Narrated by all three author-veterans, giving direct first-person authority to the military anecdotes, though less polished than a professional narrator.
