This year has demonstrated how quickly our lives can change completely without warning. But every day we face change - whether it's small changes such as an unscheduled meeting or plans going awry, to bigger changes such as a change of job or coping with the loss of a loved one. Our lives are constantly moving, and we, in turn, must move with them. In his latest book, best-selling author Dr Harry Barry shows us how to not only cope with change but learn in the process and therefore grow and develop as a human being.

When we experience trauma, loss or grief the pain can feel as if it will last forever. We begin to wonder if our old selves - the ones who felt hope and happiness and joy - are lost to us. And our emotions can lead us into damaging behaviours that compound our problems. Dr Harry Barry acknowledges there is no magic wand that will take our pain away completely, but he uses his clinical experience, combined with cognitive behavioural therapy, to show that emotional healing is always possible.

Fintan O'Toole was born in 1958. His life covers Ireland's journey out of underdevelopment and domination by the Church, to the country's transformation into the relatively prosperous and tolerant society that it is today. But, along the way, there was a sectarian civil war in the North, which cast a dark shadow over the whole island, and bitter struggles for intellectual, civil and sexual freedoms. This is a very personal history by a writer who is considered by many to be the country's leading public intellectual.

Dr Gabor Maté is one of the world’s most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction. His radical findings - based on decades of work with patients challenged by catastrophic drug addiction and mental illness - are reframing how we view all human development. In this award-winning modern classic, Gabor Maté takes a holistic and compassionate approach to addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money or anything self-destructive. He presents it not as a discrete phenomenon confined to a weak-willed few but as a continuum that runs through (and even underpins) our society.

Everyone's got resilience. It is just a question of how much and how well in your life you bring it to good use. Resilience does not mean that the person does not feel the strength or issue of the case. Rather, that simply means they have discovered a pretty good way to deal with it quicker than others. Everyone can aspire and improve their ability for resilience. Learning greater resilience, like any human skill, is something you can do at any gender, from any context, irrespective of your schooling or family relationships.

Do you tend to overanalyze everything? Do you have trouble getting to sleep? Do you worry about the future? Then pay attention. You might seem a bit confused about what could be wrong about thinking too much. Is it not good? Getting lost in your thoughts is relatively harmless, but that is not what overthinking is. Overthinking is when your mind gets overloaded by a couple of negative thoughts that seem to be on an endless loop that keeps playing faster and faster.
Summary
In an age where self-esteem is seen as essential to mental health, we are seeing unprecedented rises in mental health difficulties from depression anxiety, eating disorders and many others. Is there not a dichotomy at play here? Is self-esteem (i.e., 'I live for my rating') a reality at all or simply a myth we are all buying into?
In this audiobook best-selling author Harry Barry challenges the conventional wisdom and explores why the terms self-acceptance, self-respect and self-actualisation are more helpful in developing positive mental health. In his trademark style he also provides practical examples of what we should all be doing instead to build confidence and reach our full potential.
Part 1: The myth of self-esteem
Part 2: Debunking the myth of 'low self-esteem'
Part 3: Debunking the myth of 'high self-esteem'
Part 4: Debunking the myth 'others can dictate my self-esteem'

A tale of two halves
The first part was interesting where the author presented his case for self-acceptance as the replacement for the god of self-esteem.
The second part of the book was unfortunately heavy with monotonous case studies with implausibly happy outcomes. They seemed designed to justify the author's theory and manifested to me in a form akin to religious dogma.
It was a case of meet the new god same as the old god.
