The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture by Dr. Gabor Maté, co-authored with his son Daniel Maté, challenges the conventional understanding of health and normalcy in Western societies. Drawing from decades of clinical experience, Maté argues that many chronic illnesses and mental health issues are not merely individual pathologies but are deeply rooted in societal structures and cultural norms that prioritize productivity over well-being. The book posits that what is often deemed "normal"—such as high stress levels, emotional suppression, and disconnection—is, in fact, a reflection of a society that is out of balance.
