O książce The Myth of Normality UA

After more than thirty years of medical practice, Gabor Mate has come to the conclusion that the prevailing understanding of normality is flawed. In today's world of advanced medicine, the number of cases of chronic diseases, mental disorders and addictions is steadily increasing. Our mental health and well-being are affected by trauma, stress and lifestyle. It is impossible to completely heal a person using only experience and technical advances, because such an approach ignores the toxic influence of modern culture. Gabor Mate, co-authored with his son Daniel, offers his own take on common medical myths and demonstrates the connection between the illnesses of individuals and the deterioration of society's health as a whole. This book will help you understand: what is normal and does it even exist; why, despite humanity's excessive concern with health, collective health is declining; how trauma and stress affect us; whether it is possible to heal from illness and get rid of limiting beliefs.
