Summary
When trying to deal with our current troubles and anxieties, it can be deeply irritating to be asked to consider our childhoods. They happened so long ago; we can probably barely remember, let alone relate to, the little person we once were.

Critics Review
What readers are saying
“A concise, eye opening and important book on how our childhood experiences effect who we are today. After reading this short book, I feel I have gained a lot by being aware of these very significant and important learnings and teachings.”
“This book is a coherent and concise primer on being a human who was once small and has since grown. Overcoming your childhood doesn’t mean it had to have been particularly difficult, but certainly we are all uncovering the ways in which our upbringing affected us.”
“My upbringing wasn’t traumatic by any definition, but this book did help me understand my parents a lot better, and it also pointed out the things I’ll need to be aware of myself as a parent. Hugely insightful. Quick and easy to read.”
