| Summary, etc. | Mental illness and chronic disease are on an unstoppable rise. How did we get here? And what lies ahead for us?<br/>'It all starts with waking up... to what our bodies are expressing and our minds are suppressing.' <br/>In this life-affirming book, Gabor Maté connects the dots between our personal suffering and the relentless pressures of modern life – showing that ill health is a natural reflection of our disconnection from our true selves. Drawing on four decades of clinical experience, and stories of people transforming their bodies and minds, Dr Maté offers a hopeful pathway to reconnection and healing. |
