Discover the truth about health and restore your inner balance

The Myth of Normal by Dr. Gabor Maté invites you on a profound journey into the realities of health that go beyond conventional medical understanding. If you want to know how trauma and the stresses of modern life can affect your body and mind, this book offers crucial answers and inspiration for healing.

Despite enormous investment in healthcare, mental illness and chronic disease continue to spread. Nearly 70% of Americans take prescription medication, which forces us to reconsider what it really means to be healthy today. Renowned physician and addiction expert Dr. Gabor Maté, with more than four decades of clinical practice, shows how contemporary health systems often overlook the impact of trauma on our bodies and minds.

In this book he combines personal patient stories with a deep analysis of how the pressures of modern culture weaken the immune system, disrupt emotional balance, and lead to the development of illness. With great empathy and understanding, he also demonstrates that true health is possible if we reconnect with our authentic selves and the people around us.
