Gabor Maté summaries

3 summaries on Durar

Gabor Maté is a physician who draws on years of work with patients to show how stress, early experiences, and the feelings we hold back can shape our health, our attention, and our habits, and his books are worth reading because they replace blame with understanding and compassion. Start with When the Body Says No, which lays out his central idea most clearly: the link between long-held stress, suppressed emotions, and physical illness. Then move on to Scattered Minds for attention difficulties and In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts for addiction. His work speaks most to readers in the region who carry heavy responsibilities while rarely voicing their own strain, to parents and teachers trying to understand a child who struggles to focus, and to anyone standing beside a loved one through illness or addiction.
