About this Book
The Myth of Normal is a thought-provoking book written by Gabor Maté and Daniel Maté that challenges the societal concept of normality. The authors argue that the definition of normalcy created by society often leads to exclusion, judgment, and an overall destructive impact on individuals who do not fit into these predetermined norms. Drawing on a wide range of examples and personal stories, the book explores how the pressure to conform to society's expectations can negatively impact mental health, relationships, and personal growth. Ultimately, The Myth of Normal encourages readers to question the limitations placed on individuals by societal norms and promotes a more inclusive and empathetic perspective towards all aspects of human experience.
