The Myth of Normal

Sunday book recco 📕The Myth of Normal - @gabormatemd work is a revelation, taking a deep dive into some of the most challenging and complex parts of what it means to be human. There are chapters on pretty much every topic facing humanity imaginable, how people interact with the world and deal with trauma/are traumatised. Everyone can learn something about themselves, and society, to make changes for a healthier future.



“There is a moment when you have to come back to yourself” - just sharing this quote from one of my favourite chapters, you will know the context when you read, was nearly in tears.


He explores trauma and physical illness, trauma’s role in addiction, and the toxic elements of our culture such as extreme capitalism, racism and sexism. If you struggling right now, it might not be the moment to start this as tough to bear and triggering in parts BUT it ends with a much needed section on pathways to wholeness and some practical exercises which are superb. It also recommends and quotes about 50 other books I now want to read đŸ€“ finally it also reminded me of this quote which I’ve heard before and can relate to in my long career “not all psychopaths are in prison, some are in the board room”😅 anyway, enjoy 🙏 #bookstagram#healthblog#booklover#booknerd
