Jumia Books What Happened To You?

Our earliest experiences shape our lives far down the road, and What Happened to You? provides powerful scientific and emotional insights into the behavioral patterns so many of us struggle to understand.

“Through

this lens we can build a renewed sense of personal self-worth and

ultimately recalibrate our responses to circumstances, situations, and

relationships. It is, in other words, the key to reshaping our very

lives.”―Oprah Winfrey

This book is going to change the way you see your life.

Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just

control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's

wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to

place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to

an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different

question.

Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey

and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a

groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?”

to “What happened to you?”

Here, Winfrey shares stories from her

own past, understanding through experience the vulnerability that comes

from facing trauma and adversity at a young age. In conversation

throughout the book, she and Dr. Perry focus on understanding people,

behavior, and ourselves. It’s a subtle but profound shift in our

approach to trauma, and it’s one that allows us to understand our pasts

in order to clear a path to our future―opening the door to resilience

and healing in a proven, powerful way.
