“This gem of a book, vast in erudition and insight and rich in mind-boggling scientific observation, will leave the reader both humbled and grateful.” –Excerpt from foreword by Gabor Maté, author of The Myth of Normal

“This is the most thought-provoking, fascinating, challenging, beautiful book I’ve read in years. With remarkable scholarship and compelling storytelling, the authors examine the consequences of humanity’s arrogant, and, ultimately, futile rebellion from the natural world. There are qualities of the human brain which have allowed our species to invent ourselves into our modern world and live as if we are apart from, and ‘above,’ the rest of the natural world.” –Bruce D. Perry, M.D., Ph.D. Principal, The Neurosequential Network
