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?

In this life-affirming book, Dr Gabor Maté connects the dots between trauma, mental health, and physical illness, showing how our health is shaped by the pressures and expectations of modern life.

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

Compassionate and urgent, this empowering bestseller shows how true health is possible when we are willing to embrace our authentic selves.
