About this listen

First aid for failure...

Although we have bandages for cuts, chicken soup for colds, and ice packs for bruises, most of us have no idea how to treat day-to-day emotional injuries such as failure, rejection, and loss. But, as Guy Winch, PhD, points out, these kinds of emotional injuries often get worse when left untreated and can significantly impact our quality of life. In this fascinating and highly practical audiobook he provides the emotional first aid treatments we have been lacking.

Explaining the long-term fallout that can result from seemingly minor emotional and psychological injuries, Dr. Winch offers concrete, easy-to-use exercises backed up by hard cutting-edge science to aid in recovery. He uses relatable anecdotes about real patients he has treated over the years and often gives us a much needed dose of humor as well.

Help with everyday emotional problems

I found this book by Guy Winch to be helpful with every day issues in a no nonsense , simple and easy to understand way.
It strips away the unnecessary stuff and gets down to the heart of the matter. I have found it for myself to be not only reflective but practical. It also gives you ways of dealing with it yourself as much as possible as well as acknowledging that there are times a mental health practitioner is necessary . I found that with Guy reading it himself it allowed him to put emphasis on things in a way another person would not have be able to do! I found his voice easy to listen to.
Thanks Guy!

Very practical methods for self help

Great detailed insights for different negative emotions like guilt, failure, rejection, loss etc. and according practical methods for self help. I learnt so much and definitely recommend it to everyone. I listened to audio book. It took me a little while to get used to the author’s pronunciations. Would be better if read by a professional book reader. Still great value!!!

Self help without feeling like a self help book

Listening was a joy. I now feel much better equipped to help not only myself, but also friends or family members who have been struggling with depression and bipolar disorder

Effective, professional, genuinely compassionate

I find this book offers professional, effective help. Suggestions and examples are always on point and very applicable to my circumstances. The reader's tone is compassionate and humourous, easing the telling of truths that are very personal. Good ideas and effective approaches in this subject are hard to come by, and I have found them in this book.
