This book was chock full of information about how our brains work and how crucial the first few months of our lives are. If this book had been around in 2012 it would have helped me better understand what my baby needed from me and how I needed help to give it to them.
Even if you don’t think you’ve experienced anything traumatic in your life, you should still read this book.

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.
