Bio
On October 8, 2013, Brian Pennie experienced his first day clean after 15 years of chronic heroin addiction. Instead of perceiving his addiction as a failure, he embraced a second chance at life and went to university to study the complexities of human behaviour.
He graduated with a degree in psychology in 2017 winning several awards, including a fully-funded PhD scholarship in Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience. Since then, he has become a keynote speaker, a life change-strategist, a lecturer in Trinity College and University College Dublin, and author of his recently published memoir, Bonus Time (Gill Books).
