lexiefolkerts 's review for:

The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture by Gabor Maté

5.0

informative medium-paced

---

I would recommend this book instead of The Body Keeps The Score as it has a more accessible writing style, more engaging content, and as far as I know, a less problematic author. I really enjoyed this book and loved learning about how so many aspects of ourselves and our histories and where we come from and the environment around us are all pivotal in making us who we are. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about intergenerational trauma and a different lens to think about addiction.
