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

The Myth of Normal explores the relationship between trauma, stress, modern culture, and human health. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and research, Gabor Maté and Daniel Maté question what society calls “normal” and examine how unmet emotional needs and social pressures can shape wellbeing.

The book combines personal stories, cultural analysis, and a compassionate discussion of healing, connection, authenticity, and the conditions people need in order to thrive.
