Synopsis

In Heroes are Human: Lessons in Resilience, Courage and Wisdom from the COVID Front Lines, we hear gripping first-hand accounts by those thrust into the depths of the crisis.

This book is a must-listen for health care workers who have been besieged by the ongoing pandemic, for those who love them, and for any listener wanting to gain a deeper understanding of their immense sacrifices and struggles. Heroes are Human also offers invaluable self-care insights in the face of trauma. The book's central voice and guide, Bob Delaney, is an internationally respected and experienced figure in the field of post-traumatic stress. His powerful message to front-line caregivers is that they are not alone.

About Bob Delaney

Bob Delaney's life story has been told in his two books-Covert: My Years Infiltrating the Mob (named one of USA Today's Best Books of 2008)and Surviving the Shadows: A Journey of Hope into Post-Traumatic Stress-as well as on HBO Real Sports, ESPN, ABC Sports, CNN and numerous other TV, radio, and press media outlets. His unique experiences will entertain and educate-from the landmark New Jersey State Police undercover operation infiltrating the Mafia to his days as an NBA referee running the courts to his insights into leadership, post-traumatic stress management and self care. Bob and the coauthor of his first two books, veteran journalist Dave Scheiber, also wrote Heroes Are Human: Lessons in Resilience, Courage and Wisdom from the COVID Front Lines. He is the host of The Play-a docu-series directed by award-winning filmmaker Antonino D'Ambrosio-that explores issues of mind health, trauma, resiliency, and self-care, unified by the theme that not all wounds bleed. It has aired on NBA TV and Amazon.
