The Myth of Normal (2022) by Dr. Gabor Maté delves into the interconnection between individual health and the social and emotional contexts in which our lives unfold. Maté believes that chronic illness is not a mysterious aberration, but a consequence of how we live. Our toxic culture is to blame for rising rates of chronic illness, obesity, and mental health problems in many countries including the United States and Canada. To adapt to modern society’s idea of normal is to conform to expectations that are deeply abnormal in relation to our nature-given needs. The good news is that healing is possible because all of us have untapped capacities for wellness.
