Beneath the Surface
€13.18
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.

DR HARRY BARRY's life and career has been shaped by defining events: a solitary childhood with chronic illness, a traumatic experience in school, and family tragedies that set him on a course of dedicating his life to medicine and healing.
Beneath the Surface tells that remarkable story. From the halls of University College Dublin in the 1970s, to a remote hospital in Tanzania where he would meet someone who was to have a transformative effect on his approach to health, and on through decades on the front line of Irish general practice, culminating in a life-altering realisation that would see him change the course of his career. This thought-provoking and inspiring memoir shows us how, by embracing compassion and love, we can transform not only our own lives but the world around us.
