1. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? CONVERSATIONS ON TRAUMA, RESILIENCE, AND HEALING By Oprah Winfrey and Dr Bruce D Perry
Macmillan Publishers
Our earliest experiences shape our lives more than we think, and What Happened to You? provides powerful scientific and emotional insights into behavioural patterns that many of us struggle to understand. It's a dialogue that slowly unpacks trauma and how we react to and harbour it within ourselves, without even realising it. "Through this lens, we can build a renewed sense of personal self-worth and, ultimately, recalibrate our responses to circumstances, situations and relationships. It is, in other words, the key to reshaping our very lives," writes Oprah.
