Buried beneath the weight of society’s progress lies a silent epidemic: the profound and lasting impact of childhood trauma, a force that not only shatters individual lives but threatens the very foundation of our collective humanity—a force greater than gravity.”
This is the book that connects dots never before drawn—revealing childhood trauma as the greatest public health threat in human history. For the first time, Greater Than Gravity exposes how 180 million Americans carry invisible wounds that drive our epidemics of suicide, addiction, chronic disease, and early death. What weve labeled as separate crises are actually symptoms of one massive, hidden pandemic.Dr. Glenn Schiraldi, the worlds leading trauma recovery expert, calls this "the most important book of our time" because it doesnt just diagnose the problem—it ignites the solution. This book launched UACT (United Against Childhood Trauma) and is mobilizing corporations, communities, and individuals to end humanitys greatest suffering. The movement to heal our world starts here, with the courage to face whats been hiding in plain sight.
