DESCRIPTION
Trauma does not just happen to a few unlucky people; it is the bedrock of our psychology. Death and illness touch us all, but even the everyday sufferings of loneliness and fear are traumatic. In The Trauma of Everyday Life renowned psychiatrist and author of Thoughts Without a Thinker, Mark Epstein uncovers the transformational potential of trauma, revealing how it can be used for the mind's own development. Western psychology teaches that if we understand the cause of trauma, we might move past it while many drawn to Eastern practices see meditation as a means of rising above, or distancing themselves from, their most difficult emotions. Both, Epstein argues, fail to recognize that trauma is an indivisible part of life and can be used as a lever for growth and an ever-deeper understanding of change. When we regard trauma with this perspective, understanding that suffering is universal and without logic, our pain connects us to the world on a more fundamental level. The way out of pain is through it.
Epstein's discovery begins in his analysis of the life of Buddha, looking to how the death of his mother informed his path and teachings. The Buddha's spiritual journey can be read as an expression of primitive agony grounded in childhood trauma. Yet the Buddha's story is only one of many in The Trauma of Everyday Life. Here, Epstein looks to his own experience, that of his patients, and of the many fellow sojourners and teachers he encounters as a psychiatrist and Buddhist. They are alike only in that they share in trauma, large and small, as all of us do. Epstein finds throughout that trauma, if it doesn't destroy us, wakes us up to both our minds' own capacity and to the suffering of others. It makes us more human, caring, and wise. It can be our greatest teacher, our freedom itself, and it is available to all of us.

Dr. Mark Epstein, a psychiatrist and Buddhist author, has now written a profound and deeply affecting book about how trauma affects our lives today. Trauma is one of the things that, no matter how much our technology advances, is always overshadowing the lives of each person on earth. Our family members die, our friends die, we grieve the loss of pets, freedom, and people who move away. In this book, Epstein describes the many ways we deal with trauma and grief, from repressing it, to denying it, to dealing with it head-on. Throughout his own auto-biographical stories and the stories of his patients, he reveals the profound insights he has learned from the teachings of the Buddha. Dr. Epstein's writing is crisp, easy-to-read, and deeply meditative.
His words were chosen very carefully in order to convey the joys and sorrows that make up our lives today, and have made up the lives of humans for centuries. As a physician, it's caused me to rethink how I discuss end-of-life issues with my patients and their families.
