If it weren’t for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010—and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later—she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone. Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time.

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?”

If you have ever wondered “why you are the way you are”..after suffering trauma or abuse .. then this book is eye opening . It affected me for many days after i finished. I plan to listen again, to pick up things i may have missed. It is a dialogue of a therapist explaining what happens to a person and Oprah periodically interjecting to clarify or give context. Highly recommend!!!

In this fascinating narrative, therapist Catherine Gildiner presents five of what she calls her most heroic and memorable patients. Among them: A successful, first-generation Chinese immigrant musician suffering sexual dysfunction; a young woman whose father abandoned her at age nine with her younger siblings in an isolated cottage in the depth of winter; and a glamorous workaholic whose narcissistic, negligent mother greeted her each morning of her childhood with "Good morning, Monster". Each patient presents a mystery, one that will only be unpacked over years.

This book is a collection of real stories from this Author’s prior career as a psychotherapist…they are patients who have suffered the WORST abuses human beings can inflict on each other and their journeys in counseling to healing as best they can. I am an abuse survivor and it struck a chord..be forewarned and fore armed. It holds your attention and you really envision the people in the book. and relate to them and their feelings. I was lost in the listening.

I’ve been in this life for fifty years, been trying to work out its riddle for forty-two, and been keeping diaries of clues to that riddle for the last thirty-five. Notes about successes and failures, joys and sorrows, things that made me marvel, and things that made me laugh out loud. How to be fair. How to have less stress. How to have fun. How to hurt people less. How to get hurt less. How to be a good man. How to have meaning in life. How to be more me. Recently, I worked up the courage to sit down with those diaries.

The reading wouldn’t have had near the emotion and insight had it been read by someone other than the author himself. The honesty and humor brightens your listening time and compels you to return for more.
Highly recommend listening as it is time well spent!
