We tend to believe that normality equals health. But in today’s modern world, rising rates of anxiety, depression, addiction and chronic illness suggest otherwise. So, what is normal – and is it making us unwell?

In this life-affirming book, Dr Gabor Maté connects the dots between trauma, mental health, and physical illness, showing how our health is shaped by the pressures and expectations of modern life.

Drawing on decades of clinical experience, and real-life stories of people transforming their bodies and minds, Dr Gabor Maté offers a compassionate and hopeful path to healing, self-awareness and emotional wellbeing.

In The Myth of Normal, you’ll discover:

  • Why the illnesses of body and mind can natural responses to a toxic culture
  • How stress and emotional suppression affect the body
  • The science behind the mind-body connection in healing and wellbeing
  • A hopeful path towards resilience, balance and authenticity

Kritikerstimmen

Gabor Mate takes us on an epic journey of discovery about how our emotional well-being, and our social connectivity (in short: how we live), is intimately intertwined with health, disease and addictions ... This riveting and beautifully written tale has profound implications for all of our lives, including the practice of medicine and mental health
Wise, sophisticated, rigorous and creative: an intellectual and compassionate investigation of who we are and who we may become
A book literally everyone will be enriched by - a wise, profound and healing work that is the culmination of Dr Maté's many years of deep and painfully accumulated wisdom
An astonishing achievement, epic in scope and yet profoundly down-to-earth and practical. I will read this book again and again
Brilliant, compelling and groundbreaking. Gabor Maté offers us a way to bring clear seeing and a greatness of heart to the crisis of our times
A book in which readers can seek refuge and solace during moments of profound personal and social crisis
Gabor Maté's connections - between the intensely personal and the global, the spiritual and the medical, the psychological and the political - are bold, wise and deeply moral. He is a healer to be cherished
A compelling book that will challenge your views and help lift the veil of illusion to what is truly happening in your mind and in your body
Gripping ... a powerful call for change in how we live with, love, understand, treat, and think about each other
Dr Maté has completely transformed how the world sees, talks about and understands trauma. And he has absolutely had that impact on me and it's been life-changing.

One of the most interesting and complete book about society and its dysfunctions and the traumas caused by them.

A must read!

This is a ‘big picture’ book that zooms in on so many different areas that could be effected by childhood trauma. Very, very interesting.
Dr Gabor Mate makes the book personal, too. He poses helpful questions that one can ask oneself to explore one’s own childhood experiences and present reactions because of that.
The Myth of Normal is narrated beautifully by Daniel Mate. His voice transfers empathy, compassion and intelligence at the same time.

Big recommendation!

Complex, confronting and intelligent

I just hope this book reaches more and more people. Many need to understand what trauma they are causing to their children...

Exceptional insight on childhood trauma

This book has truly been liberating and mind-bending on a huge scale to me. I learned a lot about myself and our culture, about parenting and about the crooked way of seeing things we consider „normal“. This book came to me at the perfect time and put words to something long felt and long suppressed inside myself. At the right stage of mind and life in general, this is mandatory reading for everyone. I suppose the biggest obstacle with this book is, that people wont accept the focus on trauma as it is a concept people view as “new-age” and people just being pussies - this will mostly come from the most traumatized lots and should thus not be met with frustration.

Summary: this book is greatly recommended. Having his own son do the audio was a great choice in my opinion.

Spectacular
