About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
We tend to believe that normality equals health. Yet what is the norm in the Western world?
Mental illness is on an unstoppable rise. Some 45 percent of Europeans suffer high blood pressure, and nearly 70 percent of Americans take at least one prescription drug. Illness and trauma are defining how we live.
In his new masterpiece, renowned physician, addiction expert and author Gabor Maté dissects the underlying causes of this malaise—physical and emotional, and connects the dots between our personal suffering and the pressures of modern-day living. Over four decades of clinical experience, Dr Maté has found that the common definition of 'normal' is false: virtually all disease is actually a natural reflection of life in an abnormal culture, as we grow further and further apart from our true selves. But he also shows us the pathway to reconnection and healing.
Filled with stories of people in the grip of illness or in the triumphant wake of recovery, this life-affirming audiobook shows how true health is possible—if we are willing to embrace authenticity above social expectations. The Myth of Normal is Gabor Maté's most ambitious, compassionate and urgent book yet.

An astonishing read
I got to know about this book on Mayim Bialik's podcast. After listening to the podcast I knew I had to read this book. Thank you, Dr. Gabor Maté, for writing this book and giving me wonderful insight into trauma.

The Most Mind Shifting Book Ever
In this remarkable, well researched and beautifully written and presented book, the Mate’s get to the heart of what ails humanity from within. They breaks down the toxic systems prevalent within society that are causing the current crises in health, education, relationships, families, businesses, governments etc. I would recommend that every adult needs to read this book and then work towards changing themselves and what they can in their immediate families and communities. Thanks for opening my eyes Gabor and Daniel. 🙏
