dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring sad slow-paced

5.0

I cannot express how much I love this book. I learned so much about the brain and how we respond to trauma, and I was wholly inspired by the book. It was a bit of a dense read (it is, after all, often used as a textbook), but I still couldn't put it down.
