Books mentioned on #464: Tim Ferriss — My Healing Journey After Childhood Abuse
For me, this is the most important podcast episode I’ve ever published. In it, I describe the most life-shaping, certainly the most difficult, and certainly the most transformative journey of my 43 years on this planet.
Tim Ferriss recommended The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma by Peter A. Levine and others, and Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach. Debbie Millman recommended Know My Name by Chanel Miller.
