"The Myth of Normal" By Gabor Maté'

Gabor Maté's book, The Myth of Normal, argues that our modern society has created a "toxic culture" that undermines human well-being. Maté, a physician and addiction specialist, contends that many physical and mental health issues stem from chronic stress, trauma, and emotional disconnection, which are often normalized and overlooked in our culture. He explores how these societal issues manifest in individual lives, from childhood development to adult relationships, and discusses pathways to healing that focus on reconnecting with our authentic selves and fostering genuine human connection.
