Here is a preview of my conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté and his Son Daniel Maté, in which Dr. Maté talks about the way capitalism kills people, his latest book which he wrote with Daniel, the New York Times best-seller "The Myth Of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture," and more.

After 20 years of family practice and palliative care experience, Dr. Maté worked for over a decade in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness.

Gabor is an internationally renowned speaker highly with expertise on addiction, trauma, childhood development, and the relationship of stress and illness.

His books include In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction; When the Body Says No; The Cost of Hidden Stress; Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder; and (with Dr. Gordon Neufeld) Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers. His next book is The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture is due out on September 13, 2022. His next book, Hello Again: A Fresh Start for Parents and Their Adult Children is expected in 2023.

Gabor is also co-developer of a therapeutic approach, Compassionate Inquiry, now studied by hundreds of therapists, physicians, counselors, and others internationally.
