This tome covers a broad range of topics. Some overlap with Pete Walker in regard to trauma. Lots to think about in regard to a holistic view of medicine and how we chronically disregard how much stress we are under and the price we pay for that. Some buddhist principles woven in. Had an immediate influence on how I talk with patients. Great work from Gabor and Daniel.
I listened to this book and one day I will own and read this book.

Validating, informative and educational. I can totally relate to many concepts and teachings. Highly recommend for everyone but especially anyone suffering, or guilt stricken, stressed, self deprecating or self destructive behaviors, chronically ill and those in the medical field. Perspectives on illnesses and diseases, healing and recovery and moving toward wholeness are enlightening and worthy of pursuing. Can’t say enough about the benefits this book has to offer. Truly a must read!!

Validation and encouragement. An indictment of contemporary western society. Occasional editorials.
"…none of us like to see people sleeping in the streets, but as a society we countenance growing levels of homelessness. Nobody wants life on Earth imperiled, yet the march of climate change seems inexorable. Something in us normalizes such calamities, whether the result is that we actively enable them, deny them, or merely look on in impassive resignation. All my life, no doubt spurred by the horrors that shaped my childhood, I have wondered how it is that so many good people can be hypnotized into compliance with the indefensible. There has to be some mechanism to acculturate us to accept as normal what is inimical to ourselves and the world we inhabit; it is certainly not an inborn inclination. Somehow the systems values and expectations get under the skin, to the point where we confuse them with ourselves."
