About this audiobook

Most of what shapes a life happens before any decision is made. The body that does not sleep right, the family system operating below deliberation, the grief no schedule resolves, the structural position that was prior to choice — none of this yields to better thinking. Seventy-six claims drawn from somatic, attachment, family-systems, bereavement, structural, social-movement, and contemplative literatures — compressed without the proprietary vocabulary each tradition wraps around them, evidence marked honestly, contradictions surfaced rather than reconciled. The cognitive-behavioral canon does not reach this territory; the canon that does will not console.
