Why read it?
1 author picked Unbroken as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I really loved how Dr. McDonald takes her excellent book on therapy and recovery from trauma a step further than most clinicians do by sharing personal experiences. To me, this makes her and the stories she shares come across as both more empathetic and believable but also vulnerable.

From Stacey's list on take therapy beyond the couch.
