illness, and healing in a toxic
culture by Gabor Mate with Daniel
Mate, 2022
Over four decades of clinical

reflection of life in an abnormal
culture, as we grow further and
further apart from our true selves. He
also shows us the pathway to
reconnection and healing. Filled
with stories of people in the grip of
illness or in the triumphant wake of
recovery, this life-affirming book
shows how true health is possible.
