Authors on Stage with Dr. Gabor Maté MD

Presented in partnership with BookLore. Catered reception to follow.

All proceeds to support the Theatre Orangeville New Play Development Fund.

Join Dr. Gabor Maté in conversation with Lindsay Shapiro MSW, RSW.

A trusted authority on stress, trauma & mental well-being. Maté leads a ground-breaking investigation into the causes of illness & how our society breeds disease & shows a pathway to health & healing.

In the Myth of Normal he entangles myths about what makes us sick & how the prevailing understanding of “normal” is in fact a dangerous fantasy. What passes for normal in our society is neither natural nor healthy.

By bringing to light & debunking the myth of normal, Mate empowers us to create a more genuine scientific & life-enhancing view of what it means to be healthy, physically & emotionally.

Gabor Maté is an internationally-renowned speaker on the relationship between stress and illness. Also a member of the Order of Canada, Maté's work has been published internationally in 30 languages.
