Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,220
In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

It’s a long winded rant about trauma, mostly his own. After hearing him interviewed on a podcast I was excited to listen but it’s a big disappointment.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11
We've all done something wrong or made a mistake or insulted someone - even if by accident. We've all been hurt and wanted the other person to help us heal. It may be surprising, but the breaches themselves aren't the real problem; our inability to fix them is what causes us trouble. In A Good Apology, Dr. Molly Howes uses her experiences with patients in her practice, research findings, and news stories to illustrate the power and importance of a thorough apology. She teaches how we can all learn to craft an effective apology with four straightforward steps.

Reviewed: 04-08-21
I’ve been caught up in family drama and turmoil for years some of it initiated by me. This book has really helped me boundaries in my own mind about what I want to claim responsibility for and how to possibly elicit accountability on their part. I found this very insightful. I have no model in my life or how to apologize let alone doing it well. I wish I could send this book to everyone in my family.

Before a woman is anything else, she is a daughter. Her relationship with her mother anchors every other relationship in her life. Yet as an adult she may still blame her mother, try to change her, or fail to speak out about issues that matter. Harriet Lerner on Mothers and Daughters is a personal conversation for every woman who seeks to better understand the mystery of the mother-daughter bond.

Short and Uninformative

Heavy on the feminism.
It’s a short story about a few of her clients and herself with mother issues that are far from universal.
I am extremely turned off by her inclusion of women towards the end who aren’t mothers where she isn’t talking about their experience as daughters. If you haven’t raised a baby you have no clue what real mothers struggle with.

I love the content of this book. Thank you Kimberly for writing this! It’s so sad that Americans have lost the generational knowledge of birth. I’m pregnant with my third child and finally seeking out the help and support I will need once the baby arrives. I went straight back to work after my first two with whom I had traumatic hospital births with and felt like I was a rockstar for doing so. Wow, how wrong was I for buying into society’s and feminist’s ideas of what it means to have it all and do it all. This time I’m looking forward to a healing birth with wise midwives in at a birthing center.
I love this book and hope it’s given to every mom at her baby shower with a offer to bring her a meal or clean her house post baby instead of all the meaningless gadgets and onesies and hospital room selfies.
Her message about how moms need to be mothered is so real. I felt that deeply with my first child but had no idea what to ask for or how to put it into words.

I enjoyed this book as a soon to be mother. I wanted how-to steps on breastfeeding and this outlined them very carefully. I will listen to it again because there is a lot to remember.
