Discover the true meaning of health today

The Myth of Normal by renowned physician and author Gabor Maté takes you on a journey to understand why our idea of normality is often mistaken and how the culture we live in can affect our health and well-being.

Understanding illness as a reflection of society

Have you ever believed that normal means healthy? This view, however, is increasingly unsustainable. In Western countries, the number of people suffering from mental health issues, high blood pressure, or addictions is rising. Gabor Maté explains how these conditions are closely linked to our lifestyle and the pressures of modern society. His extensive clinical experience shows that most illnesses are a natural response to living in an abnormal culture, where we increasingly drift away from our true selves.

The book is not only an analysis of causes but also a guide to healing through truthfulness and an authentic life that places itself above social expectations. This makes The Myth of Normal an inspiring, compassionate, and urgent read for anyone seeking a deeper sense of health and balance.
