Maté is a great author and thinker. He has revolutionized the discourse around care and trauma.
He has also written better books. This felt very much aligned with his other work. It’s fine. It’s good even. It’s not a bad starting place in his cannon.
I wish the thesis was said at the beginning and not buried after the middle. It’s a great thesis that would have been better explicitly woven throughout the book.
