"Since Stephen Porges first proposed the Polyvagal Theory in 1994, it's basic idea -- that the safety we feel impacts our health and happiness -- has radically shifted our understanding of trauma and how we can live our best lives. The book presents how the polyvagal theory can be understandable to all and demonstrates how its practical principles are applicable to anyone looking to live their safest, healthies, and happiest life. What emerges is a worldview filled with optimism and hope, and an understanding as to why our bodies sometimes act in ways our brains wish they didn't."

Stephen W. Porges, PhD, originator of Polyvagal Theory, is a Distinguished University Scientist and founding director of the Kinsey Institute Traumatic Stress Research Consortium at Indiana University, and a professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina. He lives in Atlantic Beach, Florida.

Seth Porges is a journalist and filmmaker. He wrote, produced, and directed the documentary Class Action Park on HBO Max. He has also contributed to outlets like Today, Good Morning America, New York, Bloomberg Businessweek, Popular Mechanics, and many others.
