In this revolutionary book, renowned physician Gabor Maté eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

Welcome to the summer of 1985 in Philadelphia, when the city was rocked—in almost every sense of the word—by two unprecedented events: Mayor W. Wilson Goode’s May 13 decision to bomb the headquarters of MOVE, a controversial Philadelphia-based radical communal organization, and the July 13 Live Aid concert, where international rock royalty convened in Philly to raise money for victims of the Ethiopian famine. Separated by just two months and eight miles, these events would showcase both the best and the worst of the so-called City of Brotherly Love.

I loved it!
I’d really recommend it. I even reposted it on my Instagram. Healing is important. We think healing is when you’re crazy or something. But I’m reality- we all need to heal. It’s a long journey. Healing ourselves we are healing society. I wish everyone can understand how important it is.

Healing In A Sick Society
Very rare that you hear psychiatrist and physicians of Dr. Will Siu and Dr. Gabor Maté’s caliber share deeply personal history regarding their own lives. As someone who is healing from over a decade of childhood sexual/violent abuse, their own personal traumatic experiences resonate very much with my own in how the trauma manifested. Their candid openness helps to inspire so many others in their healing journeys, including my own. I would love to hear Dr. Will Siu host a series on this topic of “Healing In A Sick Society”. These kinds of conversations are continuously needed. Thank you for this episode.🙏🏾

Great colab
Really enjoyed this, and what a pleasant surprise to have Dr Mate on (I'm a fan and familiar with his work).
I could personally relate to the healing journey and at times, was impacted emotionally in a way that helped me lean in to my healing.
I'm glad to see psychedelics referenced as this has been a component of my healing journey.
Note to Goop: To me, this particular audio wasn't presented in a masculine format or energy at all. From where I'm sitting, the tone, information and processes discussed are universal to anyone living in our current society.
So I hungrily dove into the other Goop presentations and totally couldn't get with the vibe/the energy. They are all so "female" not feminine, because this first audio was a mix of both men and women but the energy to me was feminine, balanced with masculine practicality and information.
I couldn't finish all the others as they are built and designed for women.
More of this style please.

In a United States not so unlike our own, the Department of Balance has adopted a radical new form of law enforcement: rather than incarceration, wrongdoers are given a second (and sometimes, third, fourth, and fifth) shadow as a reminder of their crime—and a warning to those they encounter. Within the Department, corruption and prejudice run rampant, giving rise to an underclass of so-called Shadesters who are disenfranchised, publicly shamed, and deprived of civil rights protections.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 26
In a United States not so unlike our own, the Department of Balance has adopted a radical new form of law enforcement: rather than incarceration, wrongdoers are given a second (and sometimes, third, fourth, and fifth) shadow as a reminder of their crime—and a warning to those they encounter. Within the Department, corruption and prejudice run rampant, giving rise to an underclass of so-called Shadesters who are disenfranchised, publicly shamed, and deprived of civil rights protections.

Awe is mysterious. How do we begin to quantify the goose bumps we feel when we see the Grand Canyon, or the utter amazement when we watch a child walk for the first time? In Awe, Dacher Keltner presents a radical investigation and deeply personal inquiry into this elusive emotion. Revealing new research into how awe transforms our brains and bodies, alongside an examination of awe across history, culture, and within his own life during a period of grief, Keltner shows us how cultivating awe in our everyday life leads us to appreciate what is most humane in our human nature.

What are your beliefs about money management? What are your emotions about it? If someone asked you about your short- and long-term money goals, what would you say? Questions like these are essential for anyone building a money-management plan, but they’re less about the line-by-line details of taxes and investment holdings and more about your approach to saving money and spending it—and preparing for the future.

When the biggest colony ship in human history was sent to settle a paradise world, an accident hurtled it deep into uncharted space. A thousand light years from Earth, with no way home and no way to call for help, the colonists’ only hope for survival was the one barely habitable planet in range, a nightmare world they named Croatoan. Landing on the only five mountain peaks tall enough to rise above the lethal acid clouds, the settlers carved a civilization from the rock.

Why do we worry without cause? Why do we fear without reason? This book is a collection of 365 verses of unadulterated wisdom, providing answers to all our confusions. In the battleground of our life, no one day is the same as the other, each comes with its own set of challenges. We can never be prepared enough to handle all that life throws our way. It would not be unusual for us to feel discouraged, or even panic, just like the Pandava prince Arjun lost his nerve just before the start of the battle of Mahabharata.
