How the Past Still Controls Your Future
By Rachel Thornfield
Length48m
About this audiobook
Historical trauma, inherited assumptions, and the ways previous generations' choices limit your options and shape your worldview profoundly without you realizing it. This exploration of temporal influence reveals exactly how the past constrains present possibilities through institutions, beliefs, and structures built long ago. Understand how history actively determines your available futures and why you can't escape the weight of decisions made before you were born.
