When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress

Interesting without being too technical. A lot of case studies and the result of different people ending up sick when they have had some sort of trauma particularly growing up. A good reminder that our mind and body are not separate. What affects one, affects the other.

If you have had a difficult childhood, marriage etc. this is a must read, or if you know someone who is dealing with trauma this will give you a better idea how to support them.

One of my all-time favorite books. I must reread this often and suggest it to everybody.

This might be one of the most important books ever written. This book could literally save your life. The author expands on the studies done in the last decades involving stress, family environment, upbringing, norms in the society and how those all factors kill us. He also illustrates each of those killing effects with examples from his clinical experience. Resemblance of his patients to people around me has given me chills many times during the course of the book.I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone, even young readers (especially to them), as it has the power to change course of your life. Moreover, if you find this book interesting, you might consider reading [b:Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams 34466963 Why We Sleep Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams Matthew Walker https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1556604137l/34466963.SY75.jpg 55587034] as it tangentially approaches the very same subject.
