The Myth of Normal with Dr. Gabor Maté

Join Dr. Gabor Maté for a live online discussion of his new book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture, co-written with his son Daniel Maté.

Over four decades of clinical experience, Dr. Gabor Maté came to recognize the prevailing understanding of "normal" as false, neglecting the roles that trauma, stress, and the pressures of modern-day living exert on our bodies and minds at the expense of good health. For all its expertise and technological sophistication, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how the toxicity of today’s culture stresses the body, burdens the immune system, and undermines emotional balance.

Hailed by Bessel van der Kolk as "an epic journey of discovery about how our emotional well-being, and our social connectivity (in short: how we live), is intimately intertwined with health, disease and addictions," The Myth of Normal is a groundbreaking investigation into how modern-day society has accepted behaviors, ways of relating and belonging that breed disease by their very nature. Gabor brings his perspective to the untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connects the dots between the maladies of individuals and the declining soundness of society, and offers a compassionate guide for health and healing.

We’d love to have you with us. If you can’t make it to the live session, but would like to see it, register now and we’ll send you the recording when it’s ready.

Love,

Zaya, Maurizio and the SAND Team
