It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family… par Mark Wolynn
Meh. I enjoy books that introduce new ideas I can integrate into my thinking. This was not one of those books. It was more of a self-help book that is supposed to change your entire mindset simply by reading its pages, but way much too simple for that
Fascinating area of psychology. Powerful personal experience as an introduction. Lack-luster writing after that.
I wanted to engage with the writer's work and ideas but never gained traction. The data presented from researchers was already familiar, but Wolynn brought nothing original to the conversation.
Three stars because the book did prompt several deep and meaningful journaling sessions.

sorry for wasting my time on a few attempts to read this book. there's not much behind the clamorous title but some shady personal experience this guy is selling us as an ultimate way to get on with the traumas from the past we may have. I don't recommend this book. Personal experience is a personal experience after all.
Trauma is one of those words that instantly send a shiver up the back. Those battling PTSD and other trauma related instances know this shiver very well. Wolynn seeks to find the root of trauma and why some people experience it more than others. In this book, he traces the roots of trauma to traumas one's parents experienced as well. He argues that not only do we experience it in the womb, but also in how we were reared. If our parents had traumas, more than likely they were transferred to us so we experience trauma more easily or more abundantly. The same with our parents parents and so on. Trauma spans generations.
The book itself was well researched and the premise was well argued. At times, the writing was a bit dry, but that is expected in a book covering this topic. There isn't really a way to jazz up childhood or adulthood trauma. I would imagine a small group would get a lot out of this and I know I certainly did. The great thing to note, while reading it, is you are reading an expert on trauma. Make note of that.
I gave this one 4 stars.
