DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK.

This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official

In 'The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture,' renowned physician Gabor Maté explores the alarming rise of chronic illness and poor health in Western societies. He challenges the conventional definition of 'normal' health, revealing how trauma, stress, and the pressures of modern life negatively impact our physical and mental well-being. Drawing on four decades of clinical experience, Maté uncovers the shortcomings of Western medicine and its failure to address the holistic health of individuals. Co-authored with his son Daniel, this groundbreaking book connects the dots between individual maladies and society's overall decline in well-being, offering a compassionate guide for healing.
