"The Vancouver physician, Gabor Maté, is recognised internationally as an expert in the field of mental health. This is a subject I've personally dealt with for years, and having been through the experiences, it's astonishing the impact that mental health has on our society. You see dysfunction in our economy and in political discourse. It's prevalent in social engagement, be it online or face-to-face. Regardless of how affected you might, or might not, feel by this issue, Gabor Maté's writings are a window into compassion for anyone who deals with mental health, or they could help you find compassion for your own challenges of life."
