When a person hears about home uplifting, he/she would be inclined to think of the financial burdens and the troubles the house-owner would have to go to purchase a new house. Nobody would really think about the emotional trauma uprooting causes these house-owners. For many people who have been uprooted, the house they have been staying was much more than a house: it was a family heirloom that was handed over from generation to generation. This emotional trauma leads to an unhealthy mental state, which will adversely affect public health. This book discusses the deleterious repercussions of uprooting houses and warns that it is high time “root shock” comes to a halt.
