Summary

This week the incredible Dr. Gabor Maté joins me again on the podcast. Gabor is a Hungarian-Canadian physician, who specialises in childhood development and trauma, and their potential lifelong impacts on physical and mental health--including addiction. He is a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust; both his maternal grandparents were killed in Auschwitz when he was five months old.

In this podcast we talk about the effect the pandemic has had on us, how it has revealed our governments priorities, the relentless power of corporations, and what we need to change in our culture to prevent a sense of dislocation. I also ask Gabor speak on the Palestine and Israel conflict. He is an extremely compassionate, educated and wise person to listen to.

Let me know what you think of it.

Gabor’s new book is The Myth of Normal: Illness and Health in an Insane Culture.
