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

5.0

This book utterly changed how I see the world.

As someone with chronic pain, who’s struggled with both their pain, mental and physical, as well as with the felt trauma of a childhood that I felt sure no one (especially myself) could call traumatic, it has altered completely how I see my own circumstances and the world.

I wish I could convince every person in education, medicine, every parent, and every other person with power to read this book.
