What Happened to You? by Bruce D. Perry, Oprah Winfrey

This book has been on the bestseller list for a long time, so when I saw it available to check out as an eAudiobook, I decided to borrow it to listen to on my commute. The audio version was a good call as the two authors, Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Bruce Perry, take turns speaking and make it sound much like a podcast or one of Oprah’s TV interviews. What Happened to You? (2021) is a conversation about how our childhood, or even newborn, experiences can continue to affect us throughout our lives. While it does focus on trauma, the behavioral science is fascinating and I am sure most people will be able to find something that relates to their own life or struggles. It may also help us to better understand the people around us, which is always a good thing.
