The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk
informative
slow-paced
3.5
Definitely a super informative/interesting read. I think the knowledge/information is a must for any adult, but I don't know if this book is necessarily a need-to-read unless you prefer hearing some more research methods/data. Would definitely recommend as an audiobook to anyone who, like me, doesn't do well with slow-paced books. This was one of the slower paced books I think I've ever read, but the information was inherently interesting to me. I would not suggest listening to this as an audiobook before going to sleep. Definitely listen to it when you're fairly awake because I'm not sure if I missed any chapters while the book was playing, and I fell asleep - whoops.
