Review "Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic will be a game changer. It provides not only the wisdom and intelligence of the author--an experienced professional in the worlds of psychiatry and sociology--but unlike other intellectual books written about trauma, Pauls offers a multitude of solutions. These practical responses to trauma address everything from physical and mental health to encouraging self-care and correcting unhealthy behaviors. Trauma affects countless individuals and families, and Pauls book is carefully thought out and explained in ways that are understandable to everyone. Wisdom and patience prevail in his unique outlook on a subject that has been largely ignored by doctors for years. Its a must-read for professionals as well as anyone who has experienced trauma or other psychological stressors." --Tommy Hilfiger, entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist "Dr. Conti is a physician and psychiatrist, and a person who has been through a lot, too. This gives him a unique perspective on how people function and how traumas can change us, specifically how traumas lead us to think and act differently without understanding why. Dr. Conti explains how trauma interacts with the way our brains work and how trauma is affected by certain aspects of society, and he does so with vivid illustrations of real people and their lives. But this book doesnt just stop there. Dr. Conti also provides real solutions--solutions people can use for themselves and their loved ones, and solutions to help make the world a kinder and safer place." --Kim Kardashian, actress, producer, and businesswoman "Paul Conti is one of the most unique and thoughtful physicians I have ever met. His approach to psychiatry is interactive both with the patient and with the referring physician. I have a large, successful concierge practice in New York and am often asked to see patients with complicated medical issues. Of all of the consultants I refer patients to, Paul is the most effective. Any time I have a patient with a complicated medical history and many previous evaluations, I reach out to Paul, who has taught me to look for and find the underlying trauma in their lives. Paul, my patients and I thank you for teaching me to be a better physician." --Bernard Kruger, MD, oncologist and cofounder of Sollis Health "After reading Paul Contis excellent book, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, I now understand that trauma exists in all of us. Sometimes we remember it, but even when we cant, it remembers us, keeping us from living our lives fully. Until we can identify it and bring it to the light, we exist with fears, anxieties, and masks that keep us from living in the light. Paul Contis book helps us identify the trauma(s) we have endured in our lives and helps us move toward healing--no small task in todays traumatic world." --Carole Bayer Sager, Golden Globe- and Academy Award-winning lyricist, singer, and songwriter "Ive known Paul Conti for nearly 25 years, and over the course of that time I have been privileged to witness, and benefit from, both his brilliance and his insight into the human condition. Paul has lived through terrible tragedies and, as such, can speak to the important subject of trauma as both a clinical expert and a regular person who has suffered and struggled as so many of us have. Pauls impact on my own life, and the lives of many of my patients, has been greater than I could ever explain on the back of a book jacket." --Peter Attia, MD, physician, consultant, and cofounder of Zero Promotional Join Dr. Paul Conti for a journey toward understanding, active treatment, and societal prevention of trauma.
