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?

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

Possibly the best book I've read so far. I already know many of the books referenced and many more yet to read/listen. I aspire to write a book like that one day

The best most insightful book of all time. Never have I ever not only learned so much from a book, but been captivated by it the entire time without getting bored. Brilliantly narrated and brilliantly written. A must read for absolutely everyone. The world would be a better place if everyone read this book.
