" The instant New York Times bestseller By the acclaimed author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts , a ,roundbreaking investigation into the causes of illness, a bracing ,ritique of how our society breeds disease, and a pathway to health ,nd healing. In this revolutionary book, ,enowned physician Gabor Maté,eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. ,early 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription ,rug,more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood ,ressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the ,opulation. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is ,n the rise. So what is really &ldquo,ormal&rdquo,when it comes to health? Over four decades of clinical experience, ,até,has come to recognize the prevailing understanding of &ldquo,ormal&rdquo,as false, neglecting the roles that trauma and stress, and the pressures of modern-day living, exert on our bodies and our minds at the expense of ,ood health. For all our expertise and technological sophistication, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today&rsquo, culture stresses the body, burdens the ,mmune system, and undermines emotional balance. Now Maté,brings his perspective to the great untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connects the ,ots between the maladies of individuals and the declining soundness of ,ociety&mdash,nd offers a compassionate guide for health and healing. Cowritten with his son Daniel, The Myth Of Normal is Maté,rsquo, most ambitious and urgent book yet."
