Overview
This four-book paperback collection brings together Dr Gabor Maté's most celebrated works on the mind-body connection, addiction, parenting and attention disorders. Written with clinical authority and deep compassion, each title challenges conventional thinking about health and behaviour, tracing root causes back to early-life experience, stress and attachment. Together they form a comprehensive, accessible library for anyone curious about psychology, trauma-informed care, or raising emotionally secure children, making this set a standout gift for therapists, parents, educators and general readers alike.
About the Books
When the Body Says No draws on decades of clinical practice and scientific research to examine how suppressed emotion and chronic stress contribute to illnesses such as arthritis, cancer and heart disease, offering readers a clearer understanding of the mind-body link. In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts is an award-winning modern classic that reframes addiction — whether to drugs, alcohol, sex or money — as rooted in trauma and social disconnection rather than moral failing, combining neuroscience with real patient stories to chart a compassionate path toward recovery. Hold on to Your Kids, co-written with psychologist Gordon Neufeld, argues that peer orientation has eroded healthy parent-child attachment, and provides practical strategies for parents to rebuild connection, restore natural authority and navigate the added pressures of digital devices and social media. Scattered Minds challenges the idea that attention deficit disorder is purely genetic, instead exploring how early childhood environment and attachment shape the brain's capacity for focus and self-regulation — informed partly by Maté's own lived experience with ADD. Across all four titles, Maté's signature blend of medical rigour, storytelling and empathy makes complex psychological and physiological concepts genuinely accessible.
