The title of this book is quite misleading - we don't actually spend much time discussing the ubiquitous "normal". That said, it is a comprehensive book that looks at the various social and political effects on our health. This comprehensiveness did make the book somewhat repetitive.

I didn't agree with all of the views of the writers and I wasn't interested in every topic, but that also means that everyone will probably find something they can relate to.

There were two things I actively disliked: first, the chapter insisting that children should spend time with their parents, not peers, this view being based on an idealized and unrealistic world. Frankly his version of parent-children relationships sounds fucking exhausting. Second, I hated the narrator putting on a bunch of terrible fake accents. It was not necessary. If I read a book, I don't read a quote by a French person in a thick French accent unless it's somehow relevant. Why does this need to be done in audiobook? It was borderline offensive at times.
