| Description: |
Western countries invest billions in healthcare, yet mental illness and chronic diseases are on a seemingly unstoppable rise.
Over four decades of clinical experience, 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 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 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. |
