A proposito di questo titolo

A review of self help books and products from two completely different angles: the psychologist and the ex-infantry soldier.


Melissa Harries is a masters qualified registered psychologist with over 20 years experience working with people under stress including the military, emergency services and the NRL. She has a practice in Newcastle NSW where she helps both individuals and workplaces to build resilience.


Tommy Pulleine is a mental health trainer who served as an Infantry soldier for 17 years including deployments to Iraq, East Timor and the Solomon Islands. Tommy has experience as a mental health instructor for TAFE NSW, Open Arms and Mindset Training. He is passionate about peer led interventions for workplaces and community groups that de-institutionalise mental health support.


Book smart meets street smart. They dont always agree on what is helpful, but then thats what makes the discussion interesting.
