This book is almost a must-read and such an eye-opener. I knew I’d like it before reading it but was not prepared for the experience. So much food for thought!
I will say, the use of stories from interviewees did get old towards the end of the book, because their main point ended up feeling repetitive. I think that’s why I took a brek from the book and took so long to finish it.
But I forgive Gabor because of the sheer heart infused in this book

Some good nuggets but took forever (4 months) to finish
Had on loan from the library...
Had to return before I finished it as someone had a hold on it.
Will definitely finish!

Hopefully I’ll get back to this book because I found it very interesting but it’s been so long since I last listened that I will want to start over when I do.
Disclosure: Read 50%, then started skimming.
A large amount of this book seems to conflate correlation with causation. There are some interesting themes, but they are presented as decided fact, even though there clearly isn’t consensus around many of these ideas.
I agree with other reviews stating that this seemed to be a little all over the place. Starting with disease states, moving to child development, disastrous cultural factors, consumerism/capitalism…
Was really looking forward to this and was disappointed.

Gabor looks at the big picture of hegemon lifestyle, and the impact it has on us humans living in this culture. Strong findings, little bit of remedies though
I listened to this over the course of many months on and off. There were parts particularly relevant to childbirth trauma.
This was really fascinating. I didn't agree with everything, but it gave me a lot to think about in terms of how we deal with trauma and healing and the world we've created to live in.
