#216 The Myth of Normal (with Dr. Gabor Maté)

This week one of our favourite guests, Dr. Gabor Maté, joins us again. Gabor is a physician who specializes in addiction, stress, trauma, and childhood development. Gabor’s new book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture releases in 2022. In this episode we discuss healthy and unhealthy attachments; tech addiction and its hold over our consciousness and behaviour; the importance of becoming disillusioned; and how crises can become a moment of opportunity.

Om Podcasten

A weekly interview series from Russell Brand that examines what's beneath the surface—of the people we admire, the ideas that define our time, and the history we’re told. Speaking with guests from the worlds of academia, popular culture, and the arts, Russell seeks to uncover the ulterior truth behind our constructed reality. And have a laugh.On his new podcast ‘Above the Noise’ Russell guides us all—curious beginners, spiritual skeptics, and experienced practitioners—in brief, 10-minute meditations.
