With so many opinions out there, it's always good to get another perspective. Geelong Library and Heritage Centre (The Dome) -

Since the release of his autobiography, 'Spare', Prince Harry has been all over the news. With so many opinions out there, it's always good to get another perspective.

Prince Harry’s newly published memoir is described as being ‘full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom.’ 

Certainly, Harry does have an interesting tale to tell. But is there more?

How deep is his self-reflection, how wise are his insights and how authentic are his revelations?

Melbourne Psychologist, Peter Quarry, who in 2022 published his own memoir, dissects Harry’s book looking for evidence of the increased self-awareness, the understanding of the humanity we all share, as well as those ‘aha’ moments that writing a memoir invariably triggers.

Peter Quarry is best known as the onscreen psychologist delivering advice on relationship problems, achieving professional success and psychological wellbeing with what the Boston Business Journal described as “great clarity and affability”.

Having studied at Melbourne University in the mid 1970s, he worked initially as a counsellor of the unemployed, then pivoted to being a sought after pubic speaker and workshop facilitator.

In the 1980s, he co-foundered Ash Quarry Productions and became the expert presenter of corporate training videos that, over the following 20 prolific years, gained global recognition. Many were translated into multiple languages and won dozens of international awards.

By the early 1990s, Peter came to the notice of ‘Good Morning Australia’, hosted by the legendary Bert Newton where he secured a regular slot as the sometimes fun, sometimes serious ‘Resident Psychologist’.

In 2022, he published his first book, If I Were You – A psychologist pits himself on the couch.
