Wow! What a book! Oprah and Dr. Perry’s conversations are intense but iconic; there was so much to digest and take in. Two parts struck out to me in particular (the latter being because I’m taking a flight later on today)! 😳

‘Crimes involving a Black suspect and a white victim make up only 10% of all crimes - but they account for 42% of what’s reported on television. When you’re watching the news and almost half of what you see is Black people committing crimes against white people, that’s going to influence the way you think when you see a Black person.’ ‘Many people have had the experience of feeling ‘exhausted’ after a day of travel, even if all they did was stand in a few lines and sit on a plane. This happens because your brain was continuously monitoring thousands of new stimuli. Remember: Activating your stress-response systems, even at a moderate level, for long periods of time is physically and emotionally draining.’

I do think the audio version may be slightly better for this book, only because it is so conversational and slightly clunky in written form because of that, but it was still very beautiful. I don’t feel that I could take it all in at once so I am definitely going to try and get an audio edition ✨

Thank you! 🥰

I was assigned to read this book for school, but I am so happy that I read it. Not only was this book a great learning tool for my classes but it's an amazing tool for my career and even every day life. The information presented in this book is extremely valuable.

I found it to be a very easy read; the way that the information was presented was super organized and it was broken down in a way that was extremely easy to grasp and understand. 

I highly recommend this book to everyone, but especially to parents or individuals who are working with other people.

Excellent read - very helpful for trying to learn how to take a trauma informed approach in life and work. Loved the style of a conversation and the many examples and stories used to illustrate the data and findings.
