Gabor Mate - my favorite human . He has wisdom , and razor sharp focus - never forget what he wanted to say , and politely waits for the interviewer to jump all around - and go back and finish his point ! Also , humble and not afraid to say what he wants to say. An extraordinary human being , and I deeply resonate with his words , always .

[@ElizabethSomadi]

completely agree 😊😊

[@alsure8679]

AGREE VERY GOOD SUMMARY

[@beatsg]

This interviewer does talk a LOT. He talks too much really. I'm so grateful for Gabor though, he's a brilliant human. I love his message, he helps so many

[@jacquelinefuentes]

Dr Gabor Mate is just an extraordinary human being! All my blessings to you ! Happy belated birthday Dr Mate ❤🎉I wish for you many many many more! You are one of those kind of beings that are imprescindible ! Infinitas gracias ❤ thank you for this podcast! My first time here, I just subscribed ! Gracias!

[@yildizstopford7176]

I learn so much every time I listen to Gabor Mate. One of my favourite speakers on being a good human being and taking care of ourselves and the world

[@gita1649]

Dr Mate deserves an award for speaking honestly and fearlessly and always sounds kind and without judgement

[@andrewhurst5511]

Doubt he would accept it 🙏

[@GhAt-f7d]

Listening to the incredible Dr. Mate is a therapy in itself ❤

[@altonchian9212]

Incredible dialogue , thanks for sharing dr mate’s insight. As a father myself like others and you Mo , I’ve done sufficient harm to my kids unknowingly,Now I get a glimpse of where all those actions came from!. I’ve read and listened to “ Myth of Normal” multiple times and anytime I read it again or listen to conversations like this , it feels as fresh and enlightening as the first time .I know Dr Mate is a recipient of “order of Canada” which he might not be very keen about but for us “people “ he well deserves Nobel Prize, , “people’s Noble prize”, for all his work and his compassion

[@niamhosullivan9679]

Love this conversation and always enjoy both these men. I would note that so much of the world's pain is perpetrated by an imbalance in the world that values wealth, progress, achievement, competition, power, dominance, greed, aggression, violence, fear and war. War is so profitable. We must rebalance or we are gone!!! The earth will survive but we won't be on it. We must fundamentally to our core and with slow and steady awareness begin, and put first, valuing the earth, family, community, slowing down, sufficiency (capitalism thrives on feelings of insufficiency), authenticity, love, compassion above all else. And always always always the children. We are in a world now where we are watching children being massacred on a mass scale. This shows us there really are no red lines in the pursuit of wealth, dominance, greed and control. Killing children was supposed to be a red line. This has to be a turning point for humanity.

[@FatimaAmien]

Mo thanks for interviewing Dr Gabor Mate.A man with a brilliant mind,

[@abr8954]

I can’t describe the beauty of this interview; I cried, smiled, and felt a lot of deep, genuine emotions from the great Dr. Gabor. What an honest, sincere person with a profound sense of empathy. One of my wishes is to meet you, Dr. Gabor, even for just a few minutes, to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you offer to this world. I wish you health and wellness. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MamaTeaTree]

Blessings to Dr Gabor, love his teachings. Happy birthday too. ❤

[@anns.2621]

I never ever tire of listening Gabor Mate. Thank you Mr. Gawdat for bringing your insights as well

[@tschupa]

This is one of the most beautiful podcast I’ve ever seen. I would so much to make a contribution even a small one to make also a little difference. I am born during world war 2, in 1942. My grandfather was shot point blank by a gestapo officer. My mothers and also my life was marked by the terrible events which continue and may never end.

[@polirl]

'We're in a culture that values things that don't matter, it is hard for people to be grateful'. Gabor Mate has hit the nail right on the head!

[@carolpolhill606]

At 82, Bernie Sanders still works as an advocate for progress much as Gabor says here. Bernie must experience a mighty frustration from speaking the same messages for many decades. Only little baby steps have been made, yet he trudges on doing what he can for those who suffer. He is a role model to speak up for that which may not come to be in our time here, but will benefit those yet to come. Others have heard him and will carry the torch forward to progress. And so it goes. Like planting trees we will never experience their shade, yet others certainly will. We should learn from Native Americans to make decisions today based on the impact on the next seven generations. We should have learned earlier and the mess we are in would have never come about. Humans are easily distracted by themselves, and shiny things. We must never stop speaking out even if it feels futile. Great discussion between two grand humans.

[@alvodin6197]

Bernie Sanders was for months, against a permanent ceasefire, he only changed his stance when it became accepted to call out genocide. If that doesn't st least hint a lack of integrity, then I don't know what does... Maybe don't idealize people?

[@jillrocha645]

[@jenniferfulljames1685]

Thank you for your post. Your words were a message I was meant to receive today. As futile as my small contribution to humanity may appear to others, it is def something I believe I am here to do. I was Traumatized as a small toddler up to my youth by my farhers abuse, as were my siblings. I knew from very early that I was different and relied on my spirit to help me navigate my journey. Healing took a long time, decades and there were many times I almost gave up. Trauma is not a death sentence, forgiveness is key but first we must see ourselves through it. I hope to pass on everything it took for me to live a loving and peaceful life today. Thanks to Gabor's and so many other's work, I have hope for my siblings and those out there still suffering. ❤

[@peacefulisland67]

As a recovered alcoholic, not only do I realize the work on myself will never be complete (unless God has other plans and my karma vanishes!), but giving back to others who suffer will never be finished either. Every time I think I've had enough; I think I've been faking this whole time and am useless, too damaged, something comes over me and I feel a rush of continuing on. The great bodhisattvas who are actually on the cusp of enlightenment choose to stay here amongst us in order that no one be left behind. When my perfectionism kicks in, Mo, I also am reminded that the slightest gesture from one of us to another can have a massive impact at the end of the day. The smile, pleasantry, opening of a door, paying forward in a coffee line, all the way to interjecting with wisdom during an altercation has what some still call the butterfly effect. Experiment. Frown when you greet another or smile. Does that person continue the rest of the day unaffected? Have you, like an engineer, taken the wheel of their life or given them a suggestion toward light or darkness?

[@carolspencer6915]

Good afternoon Mo and Gabor Super brilliant. So appreciate Gabor's work. Sanity brain gym for sure. Over two years ago I began a giant healing process a wee bit different to my previous maladaptive coping strategies, in short. Facing bullies at fifty years young has been a troubling process. Certainly growth absolutely evident, however not without consequence. Again, Long story short the management and lack of good leadership has made a mockery of mental health and services. (Polite description!) A public service I have loved being a big part of, providing mental health addiction care and treatment to patients in our local community for nearing two decades. Sadly yesterday I finally gave up 'my fight' with my employer NHS and a two year workplace dispute so shocking even I wouldn't believe it if it hadn't been happening to me and indeed my family secondary to. So just yesterday I sent an email to union RCN requesting Constructive dismissal process be put in process. Most difficult words I've wrote to date. Again truly grateful for you both. One door closes another requires opening.😃 Meditation is key for me. Thankyou. 💜

[@philrossner3250]

It is helpful, within the context of the insanity of what we see happening around us, that dedicated beings like Gabor and Mo impart their compassionate wisdom and yet, it is abundantly clear and within the realm of despair, that they both admit that, inevitably, we are powerless to really do anything. BUT, as Gabor prompts... we must try! Eventually we need to shut up, roll up our sleeves and do whatever we can to try and effect change, with a collective focus that the damaged mindsets of the elitist power brokers who spread such degrees of misery all around us, eventually (hopefully sooner than later!) become nothing more than abhorrent relics of the past - dust in the wind! May it be so! May ALL beings be free from suffering!

Really good interview and Dr mate is one of my favorites. But I'd really love to have heard more specifics on what can and should be done in the individual life to break chronic stress or to offset stress so it doesn't become chronic. What is the healthy dynamic to do that that obviously a large majority of us in the population have not been programmed to know Thank you DR Mate for acknowledging that when you are in survival mode trying to put food on the table you don't have the time, the money or the resources to lower your stress as much as you would need whether that is buying the better food the time off from work children and responsibilities to go take a long walk in nature or to pay for and sign up for a yoga class or even to have the amount of quiet and safety to allow your programming to be interrupted because when you are in survival mode whether that's the bills the demands it is triggering that automatic program daily hourly.

I truly, truly appreciate Gabor Mate's ideation and expression - but I cannot help observing how he cannotsimply meet his counterpart half-way in a conversation. There is a weight that he puts on the other, by being slightly, but constantly, contradictory. Even when parties truly agree. And he responds a lot to praise. A lot.

We would like to see Mo draw more from his Muslim culture and background and own it. People speak of Buddhism and Christianity as traditions of wisdom and Islam has been so vilified in the media that they don’t realise that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was an incredibly magnanimous man, a wise man, a unique leader and that our tradition is full of wisdom. 2 billion people are of that tradition - it can’t be ignored.

[@andrewross2247]

Great chat. Your last thoughts on parenting and generational trauma piqued my interest, especially in relation to the gestalt variety experienced by European Jews and the passing down of this generational trauma, justifying to themselves that this very trauma is necessary to perpetuate the "Israeli Identity". Is healing possible on such a large scale?

[@JC157a]

YES GABOR 👏👏👏 I dearly wish you were our PM instead

[@ildikovisolit2014]

I’m sorry about my previous comments and criticisms but I’m fighting for my life and I don’t like to dwell on my trauma cause I’m scared that I’m not going to heal. I have no support. You can’t compare traumas because you can’t crawl into someone else’s brain to feel what they have experienced. I understand that my trauma is so complex that I’m not sure how I’m still here. I used to self medicate but now I try to sleep to block it. But you can’t control nightmares. Give me drugs anytime but not once that make my condition worse

[@AhirZamanSairi]

Hello, I just stumbled on your comment and felt bad and thought maybe I can help. I've learned that interacting with and spending time with positive-calm people can be insanely beneficial. Science says so too btw. That and being out in nature (but green landscapes, the sea apparently doesn't help as much). Good doctors and correct medicine-treatment too obviously but leaning on positive people is once again golden. Try to make yourself distracted, but not like checking constantly in your head, that would be like saying, don't think of a pink elephant. Definitely keep busy and don't forget, time heals all wounds, you just have to calmly and patiently wait for it to pass.

The personal is the political . The two are intertwined

[@sjoerd1239]

“Unless you have a shot to make a difference it is actually wise not to take any shots at all.” All very well in principle and relatively easy to say for those with relatively broad abilities, but people must put food on the table (I am glad Mate brought this up later). So, what is it to not take a shot? An engineer applies knowledge to how near enough is good enough, to minimise cost in practically achieving an outcome. Politics has to do with everything. Free will does not come into it with an interrupt. The computer program analogy had the interruption built in. It is determined in humanity as well. Mate’s interruption was not devoid of causes that requires an explanation by way of free will. His sense of freedom is a feeling. The objective evidence supports Sapolsky. Confronting stress does not necessarily mean that it can be dealt with. The truth can bring stress, but I do not think the truth should be denied. Attempted stress management can increase stress by adding to overall workload. Gratitude is an odd concept when not directed towards anyone. Parenting from the heart still needs oversight of the mind and not relenting to every demand of the child, for the long-term benefit of the child.

[@peacefulisland67]

Taylor and Travis get more ink because everyone can relate and has an opinion on how they might feel or react in their shoes. Plus, it's mostly fun; positive; easy. Most of us don't have the basic political, historical and scientific skills to be able to think about the more impactful concerns around war, economy and the environment. If we stop drilling for oil who employs those workers? Stop all wars (?) who attends to the retraining and healing of the most violent soldiers? Remember, if you're travelling at 130 and suddenly hit the breaks, there's great potential for damage all around, even if you're strapped in.

Hello again Politic, well here in Scotland I've been paying attention to said so called politics wee bitty obsessively for only a few years now and I'm shocked and stunned. Embarrassment fills my soul when I watch 'reading class' daily. It seems MSP's only know how to read pre written speeches. I'm still horrified with my wee self for not paying attention to politics for the first forty eight years of my wee life. Just wow!!!! 💜

Nothing is free right? I am also suffering from ignoring the signs around me most of my life…what an awakening it has been.
