Description
Gabor Maté's latest book offers a groundbreaking investigation into the causes of illness and a bracing critique of how our society breeds disease. By examining the rise of chronic illness and mental health issues in Western countries, Maté reveals the flaws in the prevailing understanding of "normal" health.
With over four decades of clinical experience, Maté argues that Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, neglecting the impact of trauma, stress, and modern-day pressures on our bodies and minds. He brings his perspective to the great untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connecting the dots between individual maladies and the declining soundness of society.
Cowritten with his son Daniel, The Myth of Normal is Maté's most ambitious and urgent book yet, offering a compassionate guide for health and healing in a toxic culture.
