När kroppen säger nej

En omskakande bok om hur stress och ignorerade känslor skadar vår fysiska hälsa

Vad händer när vi säger ja till allt och alla utom oss själva? Jo, då säger kroppen ifrån. Vi kan bokstavligen bli sjuka av att bära på känslor vi aldrig uttrycker. Våra kroppar sänder oss hela tiden signaler, vi måste bara lära oss att lyssna på dem.

Genom nytänkande forskning, gripande patientberättelser och decennier av klinisk erfarenhet undersöker läkaren Gabor Maté kopplingen mellan mental hälsa och sjukdomar som alzheimer, cancer, IBS, sklerodermi och MS. Med värme och empati guidar han oss till en bättre förståelse för hur vi kan förebygga sjukdom genom att ta hand om både kropp och själ, och lära oss att säga nej – innan kroppen gör det åt oss.

Myten om det normala : att läka trauma och sjukdom i en toxisk kultur

En banbrytande bok om hur samhället gör dig sjuk -- och hur du kan bli frisk igen

Trots alla framsteg inom medicin och sjukvård ökar kroniska sjukdomar lavinartat i västvärlden, och allt fler unga lider av mental ohälsa. Hur går det ihop? I denna revolutionerande bok undersöker den kanadensiska läkaren Gabor Maté vad som egentligen är »normalt« när det kommer till hälsa.

Efter över fyra decenniers klinisk erfarenhet drar Maté slutsatsen att den västerländska medicinen har försummat den roll som trauma, stress och det moderna livets påfrestningar har på våra kroppar och sinnen. Därför misslyckas man ofta med att läka hela människan, trots all kunskap och teknik. I Myten om det normala förklarar Gabor Maté hur individens och samhällets mående är tätt sammankopplat, och visar vägen till läkning.

Everyone should read this profound book' Johann Hari, author of Lost Connections What causes addiction? And how can we truly heal from it? In his profound and compassionate book, leading voice in trauma and addiction recovery, Dr Gabor Maté, explores the psychology of addiction and the path to self-understanding and healing.As one of the world’s most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction, his radical findings – based on decades of work with patients challenged by catastrophic drug addiction and mental illness – are reframing how we view all human development.In his groundbreaking work, now updated with a new chapter on the Opioid crisis, Maté takes a holistic and compassionate approach to addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money or anything self-destructive. He presents addiction not as a discrete phenomenon confined to a weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs through (and even underpins) our society; not as a medical ‘condition’, but rather the result of a complex interplay of personal history, emotional development, and brain chemistry.Distilling cutting-edge research from around the world, Maté avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness.Blending personal stories and science with positive solutions, and written in spellbinding prose, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts is a compassionate must-read that has transformed how we think about healing, trauma, and addiction.

The instant New York Times bestsellerBy the acclaimed author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, a groundbreaking investigation into the causes of illness, a bracing critique of how our society breeds disease, and a pathway to health and healing.In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?Over four decades of clinical experience, Maté has come to recognize the prevailing understanding of “normal” as false, neglecting the roles that trauma and stress, and the pressures of modern-day living, exert on our bodies and our minds at the expense of good health. For all our expertise and technological sophistication, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today’s culture stresses the body, burdens the immune system, and undermines emotional balance. Now Maté brings his perspective to the great untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connects the dots between the maladies of individuals and the declining soundness of society—and offers a compassionate guide for health and healing. Cowritten with his son Daniel, The Myth Of Normal is Maté’s most ambitious and urgent book yet.
