Summary: The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate, Daniel Mate

[@happierabroad]

To any HSPs here: I've discovered that you can be happier by changing your LOCATION too, not just your thoughts. What I mean is that foreign cultures outside of America tend to be more authentic and down to earth. Hence we fit in better abroad. You just gotta do research to find which country is best for you. But America is definitely NOT good for sensitive people at all. We fit in the worst in American culture which is very toxic and fake and antisocial. Other cultures abroad are far less toxic, and you will notice this if you travel overseas.

I've listened to the book. Can't thank you enough. I just don't know if I agree with the view of Capitalism. As if Communism is any better, which is absolutely not. There needs to be completely new system. One based off of cooperation rather than argument.

Why is everyone blind to the obvious solution of leaving America for a LESS toxic and more friendly authentic culture overseas? Anyone who travels a lot knows what I mean but I am the only one who has the guts to talk about this for some reason. I discovered this in 2002 but my message is suppressed for some reason and most people cannot process my solution in their brains. Very strange. Keep in mind that outside of America it is unheard of to have to see a psychiatrist or therapist. Europeans will verify this. But no one dares to say things are better outside of America for some reason.

Appreciate the advertising but please… Daniel does a phenomenal job on narrating the book he co wrote. Please refer to that if possible to gain the full effectiveness.
