The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture

Isn ’t it ironic that Western countries have the most advanced health care systems in the world and yet chronic illness is on the rise and the mental health crisis continues to worsen? What are we doing wrong? In his important book, The Myth of Normal, New York Times bestselling author and family medi cine physician Gabor Maté changes the reader’s paradigm about what we accept as normal. He illuminates why we are failing to keep people healthy despite advances in treatment, due to the negative impact that trauma and the stress of the modern environment exert on our minds and bodies.
