6. Far more atrocity, trauma, illness under communism. Millions murdered under communism.

7. Thousands of years of trauma being an albino has developed into an addiction which becomes a cultural tradition [or traddiction]. This the the exceptional culture that has to control the world [environment] in order to survive. This is the nature of traumatic culture.

8. Dr Gabor is a disturbed sick man…. he believes there is nothing wrong with taking hallucinogenic drugs for enlightenment!! He is one DEMENTED man with obviously serious unresolved childhood issue's😨😣😥👎!!!

15. Oh yes, Hedges has been everywhere: WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Korea, The Holy Roman Empire, etc., etc.,. He spews out his CV completely every time he opens his mouth.

16. What is that Gabor dude smoking ?

17. I am always wondering why us, humans in the modern days got so weak. The WWII veterans didn't have a privilege of trauma counselling or mental treatment. Some were severely tortured by both the enemies and allies. Some did become alcohol abusers and caused abuses to the families and generations to follow. Yet, many of them rebuilt the nation bravely. We owe a lot to their sacrifice. After the US defeat in the Viet Nam War, the drug abuse increased dramatically. In the Afghan and Iraq wars, thr young American soliders couldn't face the reality of fighting, killing another human, and depended a lot on harder drugs. The war is fought by mightier and more complexed weapons and ammunitions with the higher technology these days. The stress level must be higher ? and justifies the use of fatal drugs to escape the fear? The politicians and commanders must be placed in the front line, if they continue to wage wars.

18. This is a great book . Read it if you have the courage.

19. When the blessed prophet Muhammad peace be upon him conveyed the message about worshipping One God with no partners and tackling social injustice, many (wealthy arabs) chose to ignore the message this caused the prophet immense grief because he cared for all of creation. God Almighty sent revelation on the lines of Oh prophet your duty is to convey the message, guidance is from God and you will cause yourself to become severely ill or even death following after them in grief. Also the story of Prophet Yaqub (Jacob) losing his sight temporarily due to grief of the loss of prophet Yusef (Joseph). God Almighty revealed the connection between emotions and health 1500 years ago in the final revelation the Holy Quran. Please read it as God Almighty states he sent it as a mercy, guide, healing and perfected his favour on his creation and chose Islam as the way.

20. Chris, I really like your ability to harmonise different perspectives on various issues and points of view .. most people will come to an instant summary or conclusion regarding any topic without having done any independent investigation themselves .. they skim and repeat what Big Media have just informed them

21. Maybe; drives dopamine through the roof, Robert Sapolsky

22. The pursuit of happiness has led to and been the cause of so much unhappiness for what pleases one often is at the expense of another. It is a great evil that inhabits the human soul to take pleasure by inflicting sadism upon the innocent. I have lived through 61 years in modern Britain and unfortunately I cannot perceive one kindness from the people around me. It would be more humane to kill me where I stand. As a result I believe in the concept of euthanasia for victims of abuse and eradicate the source and targets of such abuse. This does not perceive the victim as to blame for abusive behaviour but we have reached an impass and I myself cannot accept life in a debased culture which benefits and rewards abusers and uses the Bible to justify this culture. I'm a Christian by faith and communist by ideology. Resolution is my intention and perhaps man can have the courage to admit their failing in the most basic commandments.

23. Although I can agree with some of these things but I still think diet malnutrition plays a big role. Plus, in the past 30 years, vaccine damage, technology, and upsidedown education are harming our children.

24. I agree with everything Gabor mate says, but have strong disagreements with the packaging. His voice is hypnotic in a "I know what's best for you" compassionate authority way. Like psychology in general, he's great at identifying past problems and causes of trauma. But not great at creating things that actually heal trauma, because even as he says, that's about autonomy, authenticity and community. The problem with his packaging is that it's based in marketing in our capitalist system which inherently is disempowering and isolating.

    So you have tons of people who aren't connected with autonomy, who know they have trauma latching on to him and giving away their power to his marketing image because that's what they know. And yes, he's better than most others. But the point is, it's about as helpful as vitamins for cancer. We need practical approaches that really help, not selling more books.
