Men aren’t toxic, they’re traumatized. Renowned physician, author and speaker Dr. Gabor Maté talks about internalized rage, our toxic world culture, childhood trauma and reframing our approach to mental illness. With over 40 years of clinical experience and personal development, Maté takes us to school on our misconceptions about the traumas and “toxicity” within us as he gently reminds us that we are much more connected than we are led to believe.

An Overview of the Revolution in Iran

The protests in Iran erupted after the death of Mahsa Amini, who was visiting Tehran with family when “morality police” arrested her for allegedly violating hijab laws. She died from battery in police custody. Women and youth have been leading the protests, demanding social freedom and political change, gender equality and the end of the state’s regime. 

The government has deployed violent tactics against protestors and while numbers are difficult to verify due to the lack of independent reporting in Iran, 15,915 protesters have been detained and 351 have been killed since the protests began, according to the lHuman Rights Activists News Agency.

About Maz Jobrani: 

Maz Jobrani is an acclaimed Iranian-born American stand up comedian, actor, author and podcast host. Jobrani is most known for his Netflix and showtime specials Immigrant, Brown and Friendly, I Come in Peace, and I’m Not a Terrorist, But I’ve Played One on TV. His filmography includes roles in Jimmy Vestvood, Friday After Next, CBS’s Superior Donuts and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
