About this listen
Join Dr. Paul Conti for a journey toward understanding, active treatment, and societal prevention of trauma.
Imagine, if you will, a disease - one that has only subtle outward symptoms but can hijack your entire body without notice; one that transfers easily between parent and child; one that can last a lifetime if untreated. According to Dr. Paul Conti, this is exactly how society should conceptualize trauma: as an out-of-control epidemic with a potentially fatal prognosis.
In Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti examines the most recent research, clinical best practices, and dozens of real-life stories to present a deeper, richer, and more urgent view of trauma. Not only does Dr. Conti explain how trauma affects the body and mind, he also demonstrates that trauma is transmissible among close family and friends, as well as across generations and within vast demographic groups.
With all this in mind, Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic proposes a course of treatment for the seemingly untreatable. Here, Dr. Conti traces a step-by-step series of concrete changes that we can make both as individuals and as a society to alleviate trauma’s effects and prevent further traumatization in the future.
It’s only when we understand how a disease spreads and is sustained that we are able to create its ultimate cure. With Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic, Dr. Conti reveals that what we once considered a lifelong, unbeatable mental illness is both treatable and preventable.

ok but ...
This was not what I expected as a practitioner working in this sector. Some of the stories presented in this book were fascinating however most of the stories were used to demonstrate points that I was already familiar with. If you know nothing about trauma you might find it this book interesting. If you're already immersed in the study and experience of trauma, you probably won't get much out of it. One point though that is interesting from the book is the idea of perceiving trauma as a virus or disease or condition that is transferable from one person to another of from one generation to another. Very interesting though he didn't really unpack or define what he meant by it. That was lacking and unfortunately when he started writing about trauma in those terms it felt too loose and simple in its use.

Good first read about trauma
This is a nice and easy read/listen, I would recommend for people beginning their journey on learning about trauma. It uses a lot of helpful anecdotes but lacks depth with specific science. This is not an academic book and seems to have been written for trauma survivors, friends and families.

Will be recommending to EVERYONE!
This book is GOLD. It brings together many pieces of puzzle and is desperately needed at this time when we’re seeing just the tip of the iceberg of the societal and mental health effects from Covid. THANK YOU, Paul Conti, for devoting your life to this work and pouring your heart, intellect, extensive knowledge and experience into this most compassionate, cohesive book.

Disappointing
If looking for actionable advice or to learn anything, I'd advise you go elsewhere.
If looking for a mediocre set of stories, stay tuned.
After finding Paul Conti via Andrew Huberman's podcast, I expected his book/s to be insiteful, at least to learn something.
It's hard to think of anything noteworthy.
It would be nice if others could reply, agree or disagree, to add their thoughts to reviews for a broader context.

Trauma insight; amateur and lame sociology
There are moments of insight in this book. But you have to be patient to arrive at it beyond the sociological "big picture" scree that is a barely concealed political tract. The sociological stuff that is least involved in the experience of trauma takes up a huge portion of this book. If you're suffering trauma, like I do, I'd almost recommend you don't read this. It starts off with harrowing, lengthy descriptions of the condition followed by long diversions. I one starred it coz I stopped. The guff is too much.
