In the decades following the bloodiest conflict in American history, many have wondered what a hypothetical second civil war may bring to the nation. Alternative history has offered up many scenarios with full cinematic releases being few and far between.

MegaFlix Film AwardsPublished 3 days ago in GeeksBook Review: "The Myth of Normal" by Gabor Mate
I had only sparsely heard of the author of this book before actually reading it and that was only through what other people had to say about him. I always knew him as the guy who talked about everything as if it was linked to childhood trauma and, though there are many criticisms I can say of his work, this book was actually pretty insightful. No, it wasn't perfect and not everything can actually be blamed on childhood trauma, sometimes I think these people are scared to admit that we don't know why certain things happen. This book though provides an insightful look into how the author thinks about processes of mental health, how wellbeing has a stronghold on our emotional health and how very serious diseases can come out of personality types rather than just lifestyle choices.
