Dr. Perry has spent his career researching and working with trauma and through these conversations with Oprah, helps to explain what happens to our brain when we experience adversity in childhood, and how this affects everything we think, feel and do subsequently.
The conversational style, the moving stories and Oprah’s ability to really connect with the reader/listener make the book come alive, while the science with the clinical experience of Dr. Perry illuminates the path to understanding and recovery.
I must also mention Oprah’s ‘What I Know For Sure’ - a treasure trove of decades of distilled wisdom from the woman herself. I didn’t want it to finish.
