In The Myth of Normal, renowned physician and bestselling author Dr. Gabor Maté challenges our conventional understanding of health and wellness. He explores the deep connections between trauma, stress, and chronic illness, arguing that much of what we consider "normal" in modern society is actually harmful to our well-being.
Drawing from decades of clinical experience and scientific research, Maté uncovers how cultural norms, societal pressures, and emotional suppression contribute to widespread mental and physical illnesses. He examines how factors like childhood adversity, economic inequality, and toxic stress shape our health, often in ways we fail to recognize.
This groundbreaking book is more than just an exposé of systemic dysfunction—it also offers a path to healing. Through compassionate storytelling and practical insights, Maté encourages readers to break free from destructive patterns, embrace self-awareness, and cultivate a healthier, more authentic way of living.
A must-read for anyone interested in holistic wellness, trauma recovery, and the mind-body connection, The Myth of Normal is an eye-opening guide to understanding and reclaiming true health in a world that too often normalizes suffering.
