Summary

This is my most personal episode so far, but it's really about the wisdom of Dr. Gabor Maté. The author, physician, and public speaker reminds us all how we sometimes become too comfortable with self-criticism and regret. We talk about parenting, collaboration, and addiction, and I leave the interview feeling a level of gratitude that I don’t know what to do with. Here’s that conversation.

0:30.0	Yeah, so I wrote this book, Bucky Fucking Dent, which takes as its backdrop the 78 pennant race between the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox.
0:41.0	The book is about loving the losers, really. And it's really, in many ways, the same kind of

1:03.7	So that's kind of what I'm dealing with there.
1:07.2	And also there's one of the underpinnings of the book is the disruption of a father-son
