I picked up this book after hearing about, "Window of Tolerance."
I wanted to know, how can people deal with life issues in a better way, eg: Grief, Sorrow, Loss, Trauma, death of a loved one and many issues.
Some day, my friends would face something, and I'd like to offer resources or know, what's best way for me to be of help to them.
The Author misses out Islamic Tradition, Hindu Tradition, Christianity, which is about 80% of World's Population.
In this topic, "Can't they offer something to human life?"
Major Religious traditions of the World have offered something to human life.
I don't know, "Why would the author discard them completely?"
One could argue, they're mumbo-jumbo, by People who differ might say, for bringing any of the above religious tradition. But I doubt and would not say, entire human race is foolish since the beginning of history.
Most would resort to, "Aha, now we have science" to which, I can respond, basic human condition, nature of human being is same, regardless of time-line.
Someone who does research have to bring wider perspectives, compare and contrast, invent new ways.
I am sure 2000 years of history, earlier men in army, must have situations, where they'd need to cope with loss, grief, confusion, followed something to deal with pain and suffering that comes with War.
Most of the content is similar to other works in this area, which are popular.
I am not sure if the author can defend her work against researchers in the field.
The Topic is urgent, extremely valuable, sensitive, and meaningful to human life.
Okay, leave my rebuttal to the author, let's get to the meat of the book.
I'd want to get to truth in any conversation or field of inquiry.
How does one increase the Window of Tolerance?
This is what we want in this book.
Turn to Page 308, “safe home base” , which is what noted Child Development, Psychologist, Psychiatrist John Bowlby and others in this field of research recommend.
Elizabeth, the author says, if we don't fully recover, we would narrow down our window of tolerance.
I'd recommend this to anyone who needs a simple introduction, and being aware of this area of life.

I have recently (Nov. 2019) began reading this and have not gotten to the exercises. I've given it a provisional four stars because of the way she frames stress and trauma in terms of agency. There is more I could add, but the key for me is how understandable my own history of stress becomes in these terms.

On the other hand -- the audio book was more than 12 hours long. It took me weeks to get through, and was extremely repetitive. Also, frankly, it was like attending a time-share seminar designed to get you to sign up for the M-FIT program. Useful information? Undoubtedly. But too thorough and too much to get through in order to get to the 2 exercises that she suggests.… (mehr)
