Insightful

Didn't know what to expect but now I have clear understanding and now am motivated to to becoming a "Certified Peers Support Specialist". About to listen again and continue to eat it like a sirloin steak from here on out.

Excellent information on a worthy topic

I plan on working as a peer counselor in retirement. This book gave a different perspective than my certification classes and filled out holes in my knowledge.
Thanks for writing this!

very misleading!!!

important subject matter, very poorly formatted for an audio presentation. About as useful as a verbal technical parts list.
my advice to anyone needing this material is to buy a hard copy and save your Audible credit. this is an incredible waste of time.
