'It all starts with waking up... to what our bodies are expressing
and our minds are suppressing' Western countries invest billions in
healthcare, yet mental illness and chronic diseases are on a
seemingly unstoppable rise. Nearly 70% of Americans are now on
prescription drugs. So what is 'normal' when it comes to health?
Over four decades of clinical experience, renowned physician and
addiction expert Dr Gabor Mate has seen how health systems neglect
the role that trauma exerts on our bodies and our minds. Medicine
often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today's culture
stresses our bodies, burdens our immune systems and undermines
emotional balance. Now, in his most ambitious and urgent book yet,
Dr Mate connects the dots between our personal suffering and the
pressures of modern-day living - with disease as a natural
reflection of a life spent growing further and further apart from
our true selves. But, with deep compassion, he also shows us a
pathway to health and healing. Filled with stories of people in the
grip of illness or in the triumphant wake of recovery, this
life-affirming book, co-written with his son Daniel, proves true
health is possible - if we are willing to reconnect with each other
and our authentic selves.
