1. The Body Keeps the Score – by Bessel van der Kolk

Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma

A modern classic in trauma research and therapy, this powerful book explores how traumatic experiences reshape both body and brain, affecting emotions, behavior, and relationships.
Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s leading trauma experts, blends groundbreaking neuroscience with human stories to reveal how people can reclaim their lives through methods like mindfulness, EMDR, yoga, and therapy.

2. The Myth of Normal – by Gabor Maté (with Daniel Maté)

Illness, Health, and Healing in a Toxic Culture

Dr. Gabor Maté challenges the way we think about health and disease in the modern world. He argues that chronic illness, stress, and burnout are not just physical problems — they are emotional responses to a culture that values productivity over authenticity.
With compassion and science, he offers a new perspective on what “normal” really means — and how reconnecting with our true selves can restore genuine well-being.

3. Scattered Minds – by Gabor Maté

The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder

In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Gabor Maté reveals the emotional and developmental roots of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD) — and how understanding, rather than medication alone, can bring healing.
He combines personal experience with medical insight to explain how childhood environment, stress, and unmet emotional needs shape the brain’s attention systems.
