Gabor Mate's work and Leo's Book List

[corvusx]

I think many people on this forum would benefit from reading/listening to Gabor Mate's perspective on trauma, addiction, mental/physical illness, and life in general. I think he's a wonderful example of someone who (imo) is very mature in a refreshing way. He's very good at being firm yet gentle when he's teaching and is excellent at synthesizing several different pov's into a larger, more inclusive one. I think his books should be on Leo's Book List. His writing style is very "pure" as far as I can tell. He touches on mysticsm but doesn't go too much into the deep end because he's honest about not having such experiences. He's very open and upfront about what he's experienced and what he holds to be true. I've found his work to be extremely helpful. He's great.

Gabor Mate is great. His son Aaron is also one of my favorite journalists.
