We’ll be exploring our responses to The Myth of Normal: trauma, illness and healing in a toxic culture by Gabor Mate with Daniel Mate. It’s a long book and a good one for dipping into. Author of ‘The Body Says No’, ‘In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts’ and ‘Scattered Minds’ this is Mate’s most ambitious book. Full of compassion, he combines searing personal honesty, four decades of clinical experience, a deep understanding of attitudes to physical and mental health in the West, and the life-affirming stories of individuals. If you want to dip into the book and just turn up, do. If you are interested in chatting about how our book group works in advance contact Netia at 07477458380 and netiamayman@icloud.com
