Hope for Humanity: How Understanding and Healing Trauma Could Solve the Planetary Crisis

Why is our civilization faced with so many crises? Why do humans seem unable to live in peace? Why do we continue to destroy the living systems that support our existence? Trauma underlies these and other problems. It warps our personality, blights our health, stunts our development, and condemns us to living well below our potential. This book documents the nature of trauma, and outlines its role in history and the present, before proposing a strategy for change.
