Summary

Gabor Mate: The Myth of Normal

From the distinguished author of In the World of a Hungry Spirit, a revolutionary research into the causes of disease, a refreshing critique of our society as the source of many diseases and a guide to health and recovery.

In this innovative book, the celebrated doctor Gabor Mate eloquently shows how and why in Western countries, which boast of their health systems, the number of chronic diseases is increasing, and the health of the population is getting worse. Nearly seventy percent of Americans take at least one prescription drug; more than half to drink two. In Canada, one in five people has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than thirty percent of the population. Mental illness among adolescents is on the rise everywhere. Therefore, we should ask ourselves what is actually "normal" when we talk about health.

During four decades of clinical experience, Mate saw that the widespread understanding of "normal" is wrong because it ignores the impact of the trauma and stress of modern life on the health of our bodies and minds. Despite all our expertise and technological sophistication, Western medicine often forgets that it needs to treat the whole person and ignores the fact that today's culture disturbs our organism, weakens the immune system and disturbs the emotional balance. Mate offers a new perspective from which he succeeds in dispelling established myths about the reasons why we get sick and connects the dots between individual illnesses and a society in which common sense is in vertical decline - and in the end presents us with a guide to health and healing.

The book The Myth of Normal, which he wrote together with his son Daniel, is Matteo's most ambitious and important work to date.
