Gabor Maté, MD ~ 'The Myth of Normal' Conversation/Workshop + Q&A

Join Gabor Maté for a special livestream conversation/workshop + Q&A on The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, & Healing in a Toxic Culture. This is Dr. Maté's first new book in 11 years!

THE MYTH OF NORMAL:

From our most trusted, compassionate authority on stress, trauma and mental well-being comes The Myth of Normal, a groundbreaking investigation into the causes of illness, a bracing critique of how our society breeds disease, and a pathway to health and healing.

In the richest, most technically advanced, most health-obsessed society ever, all is not well. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, chronic illnesses were on the rise. Nearly seventy percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, over thirty percent of the population suffers from hypertension. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the increase. So what is really "normal" when it comes to health?

DR. GABOR MATÉ is a retired physician who, after 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, worked for over a decade in Vancouvers Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness. The bestselling author of four books published in over 30 languages, Gabor is an internationally renowned speaker highly sought after for his expertise on addiction, trauma, childhood development, and the relationship of stress and illness. His book on addiction received the Hubert Evans Prize for literary non-fiction. For his groundbreaking medical work and writing he has been awarded the Order of Canada, his countrys highest civilian distinction, and the Civic Merit Award from his hometown, Vancouver. His books include In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction; When the Body Says No; Scattered Minds; and (with Gordon Neufeld) Hold on to Your Kids.
