The Myth of Normal

I am absolutely engaged by the audiobook The Myth of Normal. If you don’t know who Gabor Maté is, go check him out. He and his son, Daniel Maté, wrote a fantastic piece that talks about the the struggles we face, their biological origins, and so many other things about trauma and how it presents, begins, and framed. I am only on chapter 9 and looking forward to more. Daniel is the narrator. I could listen to Gabor talk all day.

Love his trauma teachings! He's helped me tremendously in understanding how my Traumas have shaped and controlled me. I follow his talks on YouTube regularly. You can find tons of videos and interviews with Gabor Mate there, like Marysblue said.

Its a fantastic book

Yes, I’ve seen Gabor all over YouTube. I’ve thought about buying the book to read but I’m cautious about spending the money. It’s quite a thick book.
