Expected so much more from this title

Question

Some interesting concepts such as 3 emotional systems (threat, drive and soothe), old/new brain, evolutionary psychology. But I found it way too long, sometimes repetitive and badly edited.

It mentions topics such as trauma and forgiveness but barely scratching the surface.

On the contrary I like that it mentions shame, relationships and the importance of physical touch.

Overal (and I like to be honest when reviewing books) I am really disappointed with it. Reading it was tiring 🤔

I'm glad you shared your thoughts on this book. Have had it on my to read list for a while but wasn't decided on whether to bother or not. Your review reminds me of my experience with Peter Levine's Waking the Tiger (repetitive, poorly edited, could've been summed up in the first 3 chapters).

Most of the books coming out these are just garbage. The content usually doesn't have a lot of depth.

So I tend to not buy books and try some other means
