Should Books Contain Content/Trigger Warnings?

Have you ever picked up a book, only to be blindsided by content you weren't prepared for?
Perhaps this content unexpectedly triggered a traumatic memory, some anxiety, or just made you feel uncomfortable.
Well, what if I told you there's a way to avoid these unpleasant surprises? Something that some authors and publishers are already using?
This potential solution is called content warnings, and they’re starting to be printed into the first few pages of books.
