Joining us on Slo Mo today is Dr. Gabor Maté, a revered figure in the fields of addiction, stress, and childhood development and someone I personally deeply respect and admire. We engage in a conversation that feels as intimate as one between lifelong companions and Gabor shares insights from his extensive exploration of the human condition.

Don't forget that you can help us in our mission by preordering "Unstressable: A Practical Guide to Stress-Free Living" written by me, Mo Gawdat, and my wonderful co-author Alice Law. 

Dr. Maté's journey reveals the profound connection between our emotional well-being and physical health, shedding light on how our environments, from early childhood onwards, shape our behaviors, relationships, and even our susceptibilities to diseases. Dr. Maté invites us to consider the complex tapestry of factors influencing addiction and stress, advocating for a compassionate approach to generational healing and recovery.

This episode is a homage to the power of understanding, the importance of authentic connection, and the transformative potential of embracing vulnerability.

Listen as we discuss:

• What Pain and Trauma are and how to Accept them
• Why You should never compare Pain and Suffering
• What we can do Individually to Make a Difference
• How to Awaken Ourselves
• What Integrative Thinking is
• What are the Choices we Make
• A sort of Preprogramming of Humanity 
• The Effects of Longterm Stress
• How to Face the Truth
• And How we can Begin Generational Healing
