Life changing

This book was revolutionary in helping me understand how trauma has harmed my brain and how I'm not doomed to a state of harm in perpetua. So much of it was familiar knowledge from years of having counseling. But the way he explained things just helped a lot of things click. Thank you Curt Thompson!

So good. But the narrator read waaay too fast. Had to slow it down and then she sounded drunk.

An angry rant, not that informative

Revisado: 05-09-17

I was really looking forward to this book because I have been impressed by Elizabeth Warren through articles I've read about her. I was so disappointed to find her analysis to be almost completely anecdotal with a few statistics thrown in here and there. I am not against real life stories of people. They keep the weight of the real life experience in perspective with what otherwise can be a dry analysis of stats, facts, and explanations. But a truly informative book has a balance of all these ingredients. Now I only listened to the first couple hours, hoping it would begin to become more thorough. But no. And I was disgusted to find how bitterly partisan she is, while complaining about how partisan politics have become. While talking about the debate on minimum wage, she actually said the line, "Republicans DON'T CARE." Wow, regardless of which party you aline with, flatly declaring that the other side doesn't care is not only inaccurate, it's extremely arrogant and unhelpful to the attempt to work together.
