Reviews for Why We Snap
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Some interesting science about the brain and how and why we might react to stressors, with implications for bullying, gang membership, PTSD treatment, anger management, and political schisms. One of the most interesting pieces is how we know that childhood trauma and long term negative events such as bullying really do have devastating effects on brain development. Sometimes a mixed bag with an odd chapter or two thrown in because we have learned about the brain’s functioning from different sources and I think there was an issue of putting too much in just because I know it. Parts were extremely technical and medical so be aware.
