The true story behind one of the greatest tragedies in Star Trek history, and the rise of some of its greatest heroes in this thrilling and unputdownable novel. Before the Dominion War and the decimation of Cardassia...before the coming of the Emissary and the discovery of the wormhole...before space station Terok Nor became Deep Space Nine...there was the Occupation: the military takeover of an alien planet and the violent insurgency that fought against it. Now that fifty-year tale of warring ideologies, terrorism, greed, secret intelligence, moral compromises, and embattled faiths is at last given its due in the three-book saga of Star Trek's Lost Era... Eighteen years into the Occupation, a new star rises in Bajor's sky. It is the seat of power in this system, a place of slave labor and harsh summary judgments, the symbol of Cardassian might and the futility of resisting it. But even as the gray metal crown of Terok Nor ascends to its zenith, ragtag pockets of Bajoran rebels--including a fierce young fighter named Kira Nerys--have begun to strike back at their world's oppressors, and they intend to show the Cardassians that the night belongs to them.

ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Our earliest experiences shape our lives far down the road, and What Happened to You? provides powerful scientific and emotional insights into the behavioral patterns so many of us struggle to understand. "Through this lens we can build a renewed sense of personal self-worth and ultimately recalibrate our responses to circumstances, situations, and relationships. It is, in other words, the key to reshaping our very lives."--Oprah Winfrey This book is going to change the way you see your life. Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question. Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" Here, Winfrey shares stories from her own past, understanding through experience the vulnerability that comes from facing trauma and adversity at a young age. In conversation throughout the book, she and Dr. Perry focus on understanding people, behavior, and ourselves. It's a subtle but profound shift in our approach to trauma, and it's one that allows us to understand our pasts in order to clear a path to our future--opening the door to resilience and healing in a proven, powerful way.

Gjennom tretti år som kliniker, forsker og foreleser har barnepsykiateren og nevrologen Bruce D. Perry engasjert seg for barn som er blitt utsatt for overgrep og omsorgssvikt. I denne boken forteller han noen av disse barnas historier om traumer og forvandling. Forfatteren belyser de kognitive, atferdsmessige, emosjonelle, sosiale og fysiologiske innvirkningene traumer har på barn og gir en lettfattelig forklaring på hva som rent fysisk skjer med hjernen til et barn som utsettes for ekstreme belastninger og berøvelse av helt grunnleggende behov. Til tross for hjerteskjærende pasienthistorier, er hovedbudskapet i boken både håpefullt og inspirerende. Perry har sitt hovedfokus på behandling og hvordan disse barna faktisk kan hjelpes. Han er opptatt av sammenhenger og de lange linjene og stiller seg stadig spørsmålet Hvorfor ble det slik? Hvorfor ender noen barn opp som helter, mens andre blir hevngjerrige sosiopater? Perrys forskning sies å ha revolusjonert sitt fagfelt og bidratt til et paradigmeskifte. Denne boken blir av mange fagfolk løftet frem som en klassiker for alle som interesserer seg for barns utvikling og ønsker å forstå barndomstraumer.
Lige fra fødslen griber spædbarnets hånd fat om den voksnes fingre, og dets krop og hjerne søger instinktivt en tæt relation. Dette livsvigtige bånd mellem mennesker skabes og bliver gjort muligt gennem empati, der er vores helt særlige evne til at elske hinanden og dele hinandens følelser. Men meget tyder på, at vores evne til empati er truet - at der er et underskud af empati i vores moderne verden. Født til kærlighed: Om empati – en livsvigtig og truet egenskab udforsker den kolossale betydning, empatien har i vores liv. Forfatterne beskriver, hvordan empati udvikles, hvilke betingelser der får den til at blomstre eller visne, hvorfor den er afgørende for vores trivsel og for et velfungerende samfund - og hvorfor den er en truet egenskab i den moderne verden. Bogen giver imidlertid også bud på, hvad vi kan gøre for at styrke empatien. Bogen er skrevet af videnskabsjournalist Maia Szalavitz og børnepsykiater Bruce D. Perry og veksler mellem præsentation af den nyeste viden og forskning på området og gribende beretninger fra menneskers livshistorier. Forfatterne har tidligere udgivet Drengen, der voksede op som hund.

Barndomen lägger grunden till våra liv. Om vi inte får det som behövs för en sund utveckling under de formande åren kan det hindra oss från att skapa bestående relationer eller behålla ett jobb i vuxen ålder. I djupt personliga samtal delar Oprah Winfrey med sig av skakande upplevelser från sin egen uppväxt medan psykiatern Bruce D. Perry ger vetenskapliga förklaringar till våra beteenden och går igenom hur hjärnan fungerar. Vilken påverkan kan doften av en deodorant ha på en relation? Hur kan vardagliga ljud leda till att kroppen går in i traumaläge? Och varför har egentligen så många som vuxit upp under utmanande förhållanden svårt att ta sig därifrån? Vad hände dig? ger förståelse till varför vi känner och agerar som vi gör. På så sätt kan barndomstrauman övervinnas för att vi i slutändan ska leva ett bättre och mer tillfredsställande liv.
