The Strombo’s Lit book club joined George and Dr. Gabor Maté to hear his fascinating take on a trauma, creativity and our toxic world.
After two decades as a family physician and seven years working in palliative care, Gabor Maté spent 12 years as a staff physician at a supportive housing facility in Vancouver’s downtown eastside.
Today, Gabor is internationally renowned for his compassionate and subversive expertise on addiction, trauma and stress. He’s distilled his thoughts in three internationally-renowned books on stress, ADHD and the root causes of addiction.
In his fourth book, The Myth of Normal, co-written with his son Daniel Maté, he says humanity’s tendency to exploit and extract is a coping response to an oppressive system where capital drives us toward an aimless, unsustainable future. Without a seismic shift, Maté expects our crises only to get worse. But yet he remains optimistic.
