Definitely more interested in the first half than the second; wish I’d read this three months ago.
Did not love the narrator’s choice to do accents/voices.

tl;dr trauma and stress not only exacerbate everything, they can be traced as the root of chronic illness in some people and we must listen to our bodymind more attentively given the structural ways capitalism separates us from ourselves and each other. listened as an audiobook. 18 hours!!!

This book took me the best part of 6 months to read. I don't see that as a bad thing or a reflection of the book. There is a lot to unpack here. This is a book that calls for introspection and contemplation. An examination of what it means to be here, right now in this society we find ourselves in, what has shaped us and how this continues to play out as we age. The content is incredibly interesting, rich in research and beautifully written. I'm a big Gabor fan and find the discussion of trauma fascinating. It makes a lot of sense, yet we haven't quite connected the dots like he has.
