Super powerful book on the link between trauma, illness, patterns of emotional suppression, and healing. It was challenging to read at times, but so necessary for anyone - especially those in a health centered profession.
I really like the 4 tentpoles of authenticity, agency, anger and acceptance
A difficult read.
For me it felt like a convergence of the things I read over the last 2 years. But I know someone who felt it was biased. So I tried to read the book carrying both our perspectives but I stand by this book, man. It covers what I talk about in therapy, it describes a reality similar to one I feel here in an Eastern society.
It feels a tad woo woo - actually it definitely is especially towards the end but I recommend it even if it feels like unsubstantiated hope for the most disbelieving.

I thought there were some good ideas here, and there was a lot I agreed with, but I found the style and pacing to make for a sloggish read. I was unconvinced with a number of his conclusions, and the name dropping became annoying.
I have very mixed feelings about the first section of the book and really had to force myself to finish the rest of it.
a heavy, but necessary, read. as always, i am truly blown away by gabor maté and his incredible work, and am so grateful for his enlightenment. everyone needs to read this.
thank you.
