Beneath the Surface

Beneath the Surface is the powerful and deeply human memoir from No.1 bestselling author and renowned mental health advocate Dr. Harry Barry. In this moving life story, Dr. Barry pulls back the curtain on the moments that shaped him-from a sometimes lonely childhood to the challenges of a lifelong career in medicine.
With honesty, warmth, and wisdom, he shares unforgettable stories: studying in University College Dublin in the 1970s, working in a remote Tanzanian hospital with his young family, and years spent on the frontlines of general practice in Ireland. Along the way, he uncovers a truth that connects us all-the inextricable link between mind, body, and emotion.
More than a memoir, Beneath the Surface is a journey of resilience, healing, and purpose. It's a reminder that when we embrace vulnerability, connection, and compassion, we discover who we truly are-and how to live with meaning.
Beneath the Surface is the compelling account of one man's life which shows us how, by opening ourselves to connection, learning and love, we can all live with a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other.
