Gabor Maté in Conversation with Tara Westover: The Myth of Normal

Sep 16, 2022


Join renowned physician and author and bestselling author Gabor Maté (In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts) with New York Times-bestselling author Tara Westover (Educated) on an epidemic of toxicity in our society — and Maté’s clarifying new book, The Myth of Normal. Investigating how stress, work, racism, social inequality, political polarization, and generational trauma have overtaken our culture, Maté examines the societal roots of illness, and offers a groundbreaking path to healing. Hear him and Westover discuss his research, the benefits of changing how we look at disease, overcoming trauma’s effects on the body and psyche, and much more.
