""Hope remains, and this book is its voice."" In the ancient Greek myth, Zeus, ruler of the gods, was determined to punish humankind by sending Pandora to live among them with a sealed jar. Curious, she opened the seal, unwittingly releasing epidemics of sickness and famine and war. Since the turn of the 21st century, healthcare researchers and clini- cians have understood that sickness and violence and substance abuse and even early death have a common root, and that root is child- hood trauma. The original study that documented this truth has been replicated numerous times across a variety of cultures and countries. Yet somehow, policymakers and even many clinicians, have remained unknowing and thus powerless. In Pandora's jar, one thing remained: hope. Michael Menard's work is that hope. In Greater Than Gravity, he explains both the neurological and the societal impact of childhood trauma in ways both personal and accessibly academic, then offers a blueprint for a way forward. This is not only a book to be read-it is a book to be enacted for the sake of our children and our grandchildren.
