Mitul normalității: trauma, boala și vindecarea într-o cultură toxică

Gabor Maté, a physician known for his work with addiction, argues that what society treats as normal is itself a source of illness. He uses case histories, including cancer, autoimmune disease, ADHD, depression and chronic pain, to show how childhood trauma, stress and the pressure to suppress feelings contribute to disease. He challenges the idea that the mind and body are separate and examines how capitalism, culture and politics shape health, ending with a path toward compassionate inquiry and healing.

Readers interested in the links between emotions and physical health will find a wide-ranging, personal and sometimes contentious argument. It suits those seeking a reflective approach to trauma rather than quick fixes.

Inward-looking; a moderate read.

Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
