The trauma of everyday life
Book • 2013
In 'The Trauma of Everyday Life', Mark Epstein discusses how trauma, whether from significant events or everyday sufferings like loneliness and fear, is a universal and inevitable part of human experience.
Epstein argues that both Western psychology and Eastern practices often fail to recognize the potential of trauma for personal growth.
He draws on the life of Buddha, his own experiences, and those of his patients to illustrate how trauma can awaken us to our own mental capacities and the suffering of others, making us more human, caring, and wise.
