Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Profound and Accessible
Revisado: 11-10-23
This book is well-written, compelling and useful. I have lived with traumatized family members most of my life. This book gave me a better understanding of how trauma has impacted them and it has fundamentally altered and improved our relationships.
Most surprising, though, was the recognition of an early childhood minor trauma due to neglect. It was something that I had never dealt with, only plastered over. Being able to give a name to this pain and fear I carry around in the back of my head has been a huge relief. The amount of personality traits I can tie back to this one event was really eye opening.

Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race”, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of Black women and men - bodies exploited through slavery and segregation and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a Black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.

Moving and Illuminating
Revisado: 03-24-21
Lyrical and profound. This book made me think and see differently. While I don’t agree with all within, the author delivers his perspective beautifully, with both grace and terror. This book is stunning achievement telling of a father’s love and fear for his son in a society built upon the bones, blood and sinew of their ancestors, friends and families.

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Phrasing is a bit gimmicky but the content is sound and vital
Revisado: 12-31-17
The choice of title phrase is overused but I found myself reassured by and in fierce agreement with the content. This book at its core is a meditation on how we care too much about stupid stuff while ignoring those things of greatest value and importance. Fear of death paralyzes us into never living as fully as we want. And if we can loosen fear’s hold we can be a whole lot happier.

Bury My Heart at Conference Room B harnesses the awe-inspiring insights of Slap's life-changing management workshops. The book is a powerful tool for creating emotional commitment in managers. That means unchecked, unvarnished devotion to the company.

Extraordinary content; slightly muddled execution
Revisado: 09-23-10
Highest recommendation for anyone who manages others or feels increasingly disengaged from their work. Slap's message is vital, crucial and 100% accurate in my experience. Emotional commitment is the perfect (and only) antidote to the creeping numbness that so many new and seasoned managers fall victim to. Slap's message is so direct that it makes sense he would narrate his own book. His lack of narratorial polish actually adds impact and humor to what he says. The only negative I assign this recording is that the editing is poor, with several segments apparently missing parts of sentences (or more). However, I give this book 5 stars for my belief in the message. It's well worth tolerating the few hiccups along the way.
