İlk başta kitabın arka kapağının ilgimi çektiğini inkar edemem. Özellikle “The Last of Us fanlarına” dediği kısımda okumalıyım diye düşündüm ama maalesef ilk kısım ilgimi çekse de ilerleyen sayfalarda aşırı rahatsız olduğumu söylemeliyim. Genel olarak amerikan kültürü ve belli bir kısmın politik görüşüne göre yazıldığı bariz belliydi. Konuya ya da bu görüşe dahil olan kişi/kurumlara hakim olmayanlar için yapılan göndermeler havada kalacaktır. Sadece post apocalyptic kitap okunmak isteniyorsa doğru bir tercih olduğunu düşünmüyorum, bunun yerine başka bir kitap tercih edilmesi daha doğru olacaktır.
Actually, I started reading this book to improve my English level. When I first found it, I thought it was written for children. Also, in the first part of the book, everything seemed very ordinary. But as I continued reading, I saw that the people in the book were actually living in a utopian world — they had no real feelings, they didn’t know colors, they couldn’t understand death, and they lived in a robotic and dull world. At that moment, I realized this was not really a children’s book, and that felt quite sad.
The idea of people living in a place where there are no real emotions, no problems, and no uncertainty sounds exciting at first. But later, I felt how scary it is to live in a place where people can’t see the truth and don’t feel like real human beings. Jonas and the Giver had to carry all the memories and pain of the society. Then Jonas decided to run away to wake the people up and save them, which was very sad and emotional.
In short, when we see a society where everything — even people’s future — is controlled from one center, it may look perfect. But when we understand that there are no human emotions or truths in that world, even the problems we face in real life start to feel more meaningful and beautiful.
Bazı hikâyeler tam tahmin ettiğin gibi ilerler. Bazılarıysa son sayfada tüm bildiklerini sorgulatır. 🤯

This book is a detailed discussion of trauma between Oprah Winfrey and psychiatrist Bruce Perry. It can be difficult to read because it deals with a heavy and serious subject. There were some aspects of the book that I did not like. Oprah can sometimes get out of context and give cliché self-improvement talk that she's used to. Like finishing the book with "trauma makes you stronger." I don't think those children who experienced trauma wished to be a stronger person at the time. And there was nothing in the book that mentioned that. Also, I didn't like the figures of the book about the cortex, limbic system , diencephalon, brainstem, etc. Not because I didn't understand these terms, but because they seem boring and useless to me.
The most interesting part of the book was the discussions about connectedness. When a person is dysregulated, they try to reach for various things to regulate themselves, to seek comfort, and to fill their reward bucket . Like belief, friends and family, food, drugs, alcohol, etc. Everyone's bucket contains different things with different proportions. Dr. Perry says that the most powerful form of reward is relational - positive interactions with people. Having access to a number of caring people is a better predictor of good outcomes following trauma than having access to a therapist. But we live in a world where people see less people. They work in very intense and tiring jobs. They forget the importance of connectedness and become isolated. That's why in this modern times, people got become weaker and less resilient. Continuous social interactions provide a rich source of regulation, reward, and learning. I would rather work with people I can laugh and talk with in a very busy job than work with people I can't have a conversation with in
Okurken yumuşacık hissetiriyor. Bir ebeveynin çocuğu için yazabileceği çok tatlı bir kitap ve ne kadar da değerli.. En sevdiğim kısım şurası oldu:
„When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,“ said Piglet at least, „what’s the first thing you say to yourself?“
„What’s for breakfast?“ said Pooh. „What do you say, Piglet?“
„I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?“ said Piglet.
Ne güzel demişsin Piglet.

dili de basitti ing olarak okunur zaten yeni çıktı kitap
“Loneliness is a strange sort of thing.
It creeps on you, quiet and still, sits by your side in the dark, strokes by your hair as you sleep. It wraps itself around your bones, squeezing so tight you almost can't breathe. It leaves lies in your heart, lies next to you at night, leaches the light out of every corner. It's a constant companion, clasping your hand only to yank you down when you're struggling to stand up.
You wake up in the morning and wonder who you are. You fail to fall asleep at night and tremble in your skin. You doubt you doubt you doubt.
do I
don't I
should I
why won't I
And even when you're ready to let go. When you're ready to break free. When you're ready to be brand-new. Loneliness is an old friend stand beside you in the mirror, looking you in the eye, challenging you to live your life without it. You can't find the words to fight yourself, to fight the words screaming that you're not enough never enough never ever enough.
Loneliness is a bitter, wretched companion.
Sometimes it just won't let go.”
