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.

wish I'd read this 10 years ago

loved it, I'm using it and feeling better about my own struggles, we all have a collection of mental challenges, listening to the whole thing helps get a sense of even ones that aren't a major issue for us.

Great Book

This book addresses the issues and gives you good advice to try. It even gives you advice on when you see a professional. Not everything needs a professional.

I learned a lot

Good supplement to counseling. At first I though the medicine cabinet analogy was a little cheesy, but there’s lots of good advice in here.

How to deal with shit and be happy

Would you consider the audio edition of Emotional First Aid to be better than the print version?

No, particulary I think this book would be better in printed, even better, it should be (if it is not yet) a workbook with it. It is very interactive, there's homework to do.

What did you like best about this story?

The best about the book is the practical angle. Shit happens, deal with it. Shit will happen, be ready. Build resiliance. That kind of stuff.

What did you learn from Emotional First Aid that you would use in your daily life?

I finished the audiobook. Maybe I will buy the kindle edition to work with it. It needs that the reader works on the information that he/she just acquired.
