What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Bruce D. Perry, Oprah Winfrey
3.0
Here's my problem with self-help books - even the good ones. They are, invariably, twice the length that they need to be.
I heard you the first time. The point is a good one. I do not need it reiterated, rehashed, renamed, restated, relayed, repeated 457 times. I get it.
I mostly agree with the messaging in this book, but I absolutely DO NOT NEED to hear a privileged person to tell us that they are grateful for their trauma, essentially saying that everyone can turn it into a positive thing. Many cannot.
