Health and illness are not random states in a particular body or body part. They are, in fact, an expression of an entire life lived.

Introduction

With entire industries devoted to fitness, beauty, and wellness, our society has become health-obsessed.

Despite how much medicine has developed over the past decades, we are still facing an upsurge in chronic illnesses and mental health issues worldwide.

Gabor Maté is a Hungarian-Canadian physician, award-winning author, and lecturer.

Dr. Maté's works – including bestsellers Scattered Minds and In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts – draw from his years of experience working with addiction, trauma, and ADHD patients.

Co-written with Maté's son, Daniel Maté, The Myth of Normal explores modern misconceptions about health and normality, and how society is intertwined with our experiences of trauma and illness.
