Product details

The Myth of Ordinary by Gabor Matthieu… “Our emotions, culture, bodies, and spirits are not separate, and it seems that the reins of mental and chronic illness have been loosened. How did we get here? And what awaits us in the future? It all starts with mindfulness… with paying attention to what our bodies are saying and what our minds are suppressing.” In this invaluable book, Dr. Gabor Matthieu connects our personal suffering with the debilitating pressures of modern life—and demonstrates that illness is a natural consequence of our disconnection from our true selves. Drawing on four decades of clinical experience and the stories of people who have transformed their bodies and minds, Dr. Matthieu opens a promising path to recovery. “An epic journey exploring the intricate link between our emotional well-being and our social connections, health, illness, and addiction. This fascinating and beautiful story has profound implications for all of our lives.” —Bessel van der Kolk, author of *Your Body Remembers Everything*
