Daniel Maté : Dismantling blindspots
Topics covered : his relationship with his Dad Gabor, Zionism, privilege, Jewishness, perspective, purpose.
This week I speak to the brilliant Daniel Maté and it’s a conversation that has really helped me and I think you’ll feel the same when you listen to it.
Originally from Vancouver, Canada, he now lives in Brooklyn, New York and he’s an award-winning composer, lyricist, and playwright for musical theatre. Outside of music and theatre, he runs the world’s only “mental chiropractic” service, ‘Take a walk with Daniel’.
He also co-authored the New York Times bestselling book, ‘The Myth of Normal : Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture,’ with his father Dr. Gabor Maté and they have a second book in the works, ‘Hello Again: A Fresh Start for Parents and Their Adult Children’, based on their popular workshops of the same title.
In the first half of our conversation he talks about his work, his relationship with his father and how different they are as people.
And then later, we discuss Palestine and what he has to say is enlightening.
He talks about Zionism, privilege and what he learnt about himself during his time in a Mexican jail.
