Author:Boris Cyrulnik,David Macey
Many of us experience pain in our childhoods, and young people face trauma all over the world. How is it possible to recover? Do those abused always go on to hurt others? This incredible bestseller has overturned the way we view trauma, by showing how the extraordinary power of resilience can heal damaged lives.
Renowned psychoanalyst Boris Cyrulnik has dealt with many young victims of distress and he relates stories of children who have been abused, orphaned, fought in wars and escaped genocide, yet who have not only survived, but grown in the face of adversity. By the way we deal with our memories and emotions, he shows, we can reshape our lives and transform pain into something stronger - just as a grain of sand in an oyster becomes a pearl.
Resilience is not just about resisting; it is about learning to live. This life-changing book points the way towards hope and happiness.
Readable, surprising and provocative
—— The TimesI really enjoyed The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris. It was published in 1967 and is often a very amusing zoological perspective on human beings. The chapter on sex is hilarious
—— KT Tunstall , IndependentStimulating
—— Arthur KoestlerThought-provoking...Morris has introduced some novel and challenging ideas
—— Natural HistoryFascinating
—— Sunday TimesI don’t think I’ve ever read a book quite so slowly… I didn’t want to miss a beat in what became an intoxicating series of revelations about not only my species but apparently about me, too. I’d never experienced a book that reached out to the reader in such a way and even now, this still holds true for The Naked Ape in that you can’t help but examine where (or even if) you fit in with Morris’s observations.
—— Ben Garrod , ObserverOriginal, provocative and brilliantly entertaining. It's the sort of book that changes people's lives
—— Sunday TimesA superb how-to book.
—— Kirkus ReviewsI rely on Stuart Diamond's negotiation tools every day
—— Christian Hernandez, Head of International Business Development, FacebookOne wishes this book could get into the hands of all the suffering children who need it
—— Washington PostThis story of unfathomable child abuse is told with remarkable wit, compassion, and courage
—— Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with ScissorsHighly articulate … Her memories are real, not recovered
—— The Times
