Took me so long to get through this one. The first 1/2-2/3 of the book I really enjoyed, though also found very depressing and despite Gabor repeatedly saying I’m not blaming parents, it’s a societal/cultural problem, I still felt awful reading the parts about young kids development and how early so much is determined and boy as a mom of young kids you feel like a failure - but it was also fascinating.
The parts about health and the holistic view also were very good but the last part of the book started to lag and I just stopped picking it up and
When I did I could only get through a few pages and usually felt like I didn’t know what the topic was anymore.

A lot of really interesting stuff, but the book is way too long. It's quite a few books in one. It could be impressive if it were tighter and more focused. But there's some fascinating nuggets buried within it.

Es bastante interesante y da mucho que pensar. En algunos aspectos me ha abierto la mente. Sin embargo, me ha parecido demasiado largo y que abarca muchos temas, es demasiado denso para mi gusto.
Very indepth book. I needed a dictionary as I read this. A bit too "medical" for me but there were a lot of truths and interesting facts for sure.
Excellent and extensive range of topics discussed surrounding trauma-related illness. I appreciated the inserts from other docs, and free thinkers. Good reminder for me to be one with nature for healing of me and us all.

This goes way beyond information we normally get about health. Amazing! So many different perspectives backed up with research. This has truly changed my life and given me some positive movement forward.
4.5 stars
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
