ReviewsThe great challenges in understanding ourselves is how minds, bodies, and brains work together. In this excellent book, written for the layperson, Porges and Porges outline their important and internationally acclaimed concepts of Polyvagal Theory; on how the autonomic nervous system is fundamental to how we experience threat and safety. Polyvagal Theory has made major contributions to our understanding of how stress and trauma changes our bodies and also how, by working with the autonomic nervous system, we can find balance again. As such, it has made major contributions to psychotherapy and the importance of social connectedness in our lives. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the autonomic system regulates emotional states and what they can do to cultivate well-being. , At last, a simple, eloquently straightforward, and comprehensive rendition of one of the most important recent advances in psychology and physiology, by its pioneer. Stephen Porges, ably assisted here by his son Seth, places his indispensable Polyvagal Theory into the context of our present-day frantic, post- pandemic, complicated lives and thereby guides us toward the safety on which our well-being, personal and social, depends. Essential reading; this book leaves me ?lled with appreciation., This wonderfully useful book combines the groundbreaking power of Polyvagal Theory with penetrating clinical insights and warmhearted practical tools--all for greater healing, resilience, and well-being in a stressful world. You can feel the kindness of its authors on every page, with candor about their own father-son relationship and what they've learned inside of it. The scientific aspects are explained with masterful clarity. With applications to couples, families, education, and institutions such as prisons, there is value here for every kind of reader. And so timely as we recover from past social disruptions and face new ones. Truly a gem. , Our Polyvagal World is an awesome book...I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the science of safety and to anyone interested in living a better and healthier life without having to commit to extreme measures. And if both apply to you, this book is a must. , In this book, the authors explain the Polyvagal Theory in a simple, relatable way that is easy to absorb and understand. Illustrated with real-life examples, Our Polyvagal World convinces us that that how we feel depends upon our physiological state, showing us why a felt sense of safety is essential for a rich, fulfilling life. Reading it inspires moments of personal recognition and life-changing understanding, but it goes one step further to give us the practical tools we need to deepen our social bonds and sense of safety in this stressful modern world. It's an empowering, hopeful book that you will be glad you read. , In this book, the authors explain the Polyvagal Theory in a simple, relatable way that is easy to absorb and understand....

Essential reading; this book leaves me filled with appreciation., Stephen Porges cracked the code with his Polyvagal Theory for the physiological mechanism of the human socio-emotional exchange system upon which we build our emotional landscapes. Our Polyvagal World reviews the theory and reminds us that the importance of others is baked into the human genome. When we look at the effects of traumatic events, we must recognize how our nervous system responds and changes, and impacts how we react to stress long after a traumatic incident. Finally, the authors show us that the solutions lay in the interpersonal deployment of the vagal exchange., Essential reading to understand the context of our present day, frantic lives, and a guide toward the safety upon which we all depend., Our Polyvagal World is an awesome book. It is readable and written in plain language so that it is easy to understand. This book will help you comprehend your trauma and help you live a better life. In addition to breathing optimally (super important), yoga (also cool), the bottom line of this book--and of the Polyvagal Theory--is that human relatedness matters: Nothing is more profoundly beneficial to our health and the health of our nervous system than relational connection with people we love and trust, i.e., those people with whom we feel safe. A good conversation, all the more so over a meal, can reverse eons of evolution; we can get our nervous system in its most engaged and evolutionarily advanced form. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the science of safety and to anyone interested in living a better and healthier life without having to commit to extreme measures.
