This is a book that I’ll be holding onto and rereading many times throughout my life. It explains so much about me to me. Hopefully, I can use this trauma wisdom, as it’s called in the book, to be more helpful to those in my world and to be more connected and to create more connectedness. Oprah is Oprah for good reason!

I really loved this book, the audiobook is incredible. 
I learned a lot, even as a med student, there are things that we don´t know or don´t even investigate that much. It was amazing, and it took a complex topic and made them understandable. I would recommend this book for everyone, it can be a bit overwhelming at times. But it's worth it. 
I not only learned so much about the brain and development, but I was able to translate that to my real life. I understand and empathize more with people around me, and about myself. I understand myself a little better now. 
I'll read this book again in the future because I don't think that I would get the most of it from reading it only once. 
I don't agree with everything that was written on the book, but I still loved it and would recommend it.

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.
