Synopsis: In this session, Dr. Larry Richard shared insights from his forthcoming book, Thin-Skinned: Why Lawyers Are So Low in Resilience, and the New Science That Can Help (published by the American Bar Association), exploring why lawyers can be particularly vulnerable to stress, criticism and uncertainty.

Drawing on decades of research, Larry highlights the personality traits that shape lawyer behaviour and shares practical, evidence-based strategies to help build resilience, strengthen wellbeing and support more sustainable ways of working.
