Profoundly original, bestselling writer and physician Gabor Maté looks at the epidemic of addictions in our society, tells us why we are so prone to them and what is needed to liberate ourselves from their hold on our emotions and behaviours.

AUDIOFILE REVIEW: "[Gabor Maté's] nuanced understanding of pleasure seeking and pain avoidance inspires empathy for a wide range of addictions—from cocaine and alcohol to destructive patterns of shopping, eating, and sexual behavior. Along with his authentic-sounding dialogue Daniel Mate’s performance is notable for its emotional resonance with the author’s patients and their journeys. ... His engagement with the author’s writing makes this a moving invitation to the complex world of addictions." T.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2011, Nov. 2011

Audio Book: In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction, Gabor Maté

Since its original landmark publication in 1980, Howard Zinn’s  A People’s History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools–with its emphasis on great men in high places–to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace. In this recording you’ll hear from Zinn reading from his introduction to the book, and you’ll hear Matt Damon,  an American actor and Academy Award-winning screenwriter for his work on Good Will Hunting, read passages that span the Summer of 1966, the 1967 Urban Riots in Newark and Detroit, the Civil Rights Act of 1968, to name a few highlights.

The Gift of Failure

"In When the Body Says No," Gabor Maté writes: “People have always understood intuitively that mind and body are not separable. Modernity has brought with it an unfortunate dissociation, a split between what we know with our whole being and what our thinking mind accepts as truth.” The mind and body are not just connected, but inseparably intertwined, and, Maté believes, certain chronic diseases - ALS, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, breast cancer - are at least in part “an expression of an internal disharmony” brought on by the effects of stress.
	The significance of the mind-body connection is not new, but modern medicine has a tendency to split the two. However, in recent years an entire field of research, psychoneuroimmunology, has begun to explore “how the mind. . . profoundly interacts with the body’s nervous system and how both of them, in turn, form an essential link with our immune defenses.” And it is not such a stretch to see the connection between organic disease and “stress,” a relentless pressure that can twist around the immune system’s protective powers into a “suicidal assault”: what Maté calls “a civil war inside the body”. 
	It is how Maté defines stress that is so different from mainstream interpretations as to be practically revolutionary. Probing deeply into the life histories and psyches of many patients he has treated during his years as a palliative care physician, he emerges with nothing short of a revelation.

When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress, by Gabor Maté

This parenting classic on one of the most disturbing and misunderstood trends of our time--peers replacing parents in the lives of children--is now more relevant than ever. This sample is from the original edition. The latest edition includes new material on how social media and video game culture are affecting our children, and what parents can do, and is available only through our site (www.posthypnoticpress.com).
 
In Hold On to Your Kids, Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction--for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behaviour. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; it is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested until Hold On to Your Kids. Once understood, it becomes self-evident--as do the solutions.

Daniel Maté’s warm and sensitive narration, gift with dialogue, and engagement with the authors writing make this an enjoyable and informative listen.
