Gabor Maté and Yanis Varoufakis | HOW TO HEAL FROM THIS TOXIC CULTURE | Podcast 4 

Please like, subscribe, comment and share to help our conversations reach a wider audience.

What I love most about Gabor & Yanis getting together is that it is a vivid conversation that illustrates the meaning of the Krishnamurti quote: "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”

I love that Raoul just shuts up and let's his fantastic guests speak, unless he has a very pertinent question. Its rare and refreshing

Gabor, Yanis, Raoul, please meet and talk more often. It was a real treat. Fresh air in these suffocating times.

If Gabor and Yanis ever decided to partner on a regular basis in a format like this one, it might just amount to one of the most important partnerships one can imagine.

Two brilliant and empathetic humans. Thanks for setting this up.

As a simple construction worker, this conversation washed over me like a wave of insightful, deep understanding. Thank you. Why do we not see wise and caring people like this in government ?

"As a Jew, I'm appreciative of his speaking out on Palestine." Damn, that hit a nerve. I am so desparately hoping for Jews to speak out ...

Thank you for mentioning the Congo. King Leopold’s slaughter of 10M - which is barely ever acknowledged.

Gabor and Yanis are two of the wisest people around. This was a great conversation.

I am a Catholic survivor, memory came up after moving back to hometown after 35 years. Pedo priest name published in local paper. CPTSD my entire life. I am lucky to be alive. I heal as I call out the corrupt VaticanPedoCult on social media. Very healing.

Dr. Maté is one of most beautiful human beings, who is magnificently qualified to talk about Trauma, Genocide, antisemitism or Racism in general it's a shame that stream media doesn't give him much space, Humanity needs learn a lot from him

Thank you, Gabor Maté, for saying what I struggled with when learning world history. I couldn’t understand how genocides had been arranged hierarchically. Not just with the Jewish Holocaust being on top. But also the effect this had on making all the other genocides invisible. Effectively ‘disappearing’ all the non-European people. It’s clear that it was - and with the Gaza genocide - it continues to be - a reflection of the colonial, racist mindset of the Western leaders who still do not consider black and brown lives as equal to others. We are all connected in a precious human family. All lives are equal. When we destroy one human life, we are diminishing and harming all humanity.

this conversation is a ray of hope in a distopian world

Finally, someone acknowledges Jews are one of dozens who have suffered genocide/holocaust. Presently, Gaza, all indigenous populations worldwide continue suffering at the hands of imperialist. Thank you.

Awesome. Two of the most inspiring people of our time. Thank you for being such powerful voices for the voiceless🫶🙏✌️

Wow, never expected this collaboration, but it makes so much sense! Two unique people speaking for the good of the humanity. ❤

Oh thank you. Two of my favourite, most loved heroes. Yanis and Gabor ❤❤ Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

In a certain sense, each genocide is unique in itself, and Gabor's emphasis that a hierarchy between the crimes must never be created seems extremely important to me, because in the end they are all subject to the same principle of dehumanising a group of people.

Yes! What Gabor says about the lack of agency!!!! That is why DANCE and MUSIC and all the arts are important and why authoritarian states take them away from us. I dance as much as possible with others. It restores my sense of agency and also community.

Thank you Dr. Gabor for speaking out about the genocide of the Congolese and the Nama and Herero.

Let Humanity become everyone's Tribe!!! And let it begin today! Love all three of you!!! Thank you for this wonderful conversation!

A real privilege to listen to two humanitarians discuss and explain so simply the effects individualism ,greed and selfish disregard is having on our world.Thank you for encouraging us to fight back.

This is the most constructive conversation available online. Please post it everywhere possible. Please pass it on

I'm a long term practicing Zen buddhist. I'm one of three members of Independent Jewish Voices (I am a supporting member) who showed up every day for the Palestinian encampment on our local campus calling for the university to rid itself of $150million in investments in Israeli-used weaponry against Gaza. My encampment work is coextensive with my sitting practice. Two manifestations, no difference. Thank you.

Bravo Raoul for bringing these two brains from two different fields together. But I got to add that Raoul always makes some brilliant points and thoughts as well. 👏

Two of the most advanced ethical minds in this world. Gabor and Yanis may disagree upon some religious context but no-one can dispute they share a love of mankind and a cultural appreciation of morality and ethics. Both men should be commended for their dedication to furthering our understanding of faith, hope and sacrifice.

I will die proudly being on the just side of failing. ❤

Im Turkish and big fan of yours Yanis. Greetings.. We need people being politically involved on the local level.

The greater the mind the greater its humility. I highly appreciate both Gabor Mate and Yanis Varoufakis , and I hope they inspire as many people as possible.

THANK YOU MR MATE AND MR VAROUFAKIS FOR SHARING YOUR WISDOM AND TELLING US THE TRUTH NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH BLASS BOTH OF YOU

One of the best discussions which most people will not be able to see ... This should be viral

Yannis so quotable, "I know I'm gonna die. That doesn't mean I'm not gonna have a good day today." Cheers from Melbourne mate, you're a champion!

I certainly hope Yanis and Gabor get to meet in the flesh some day and that the event is recorded. We all need the empathy and profound wisdom they so generously evince!

THE FANDOM FOR THE OTHER IS WONDERFUL!!! THANK YOU Gabor and Yanis!!!❤❤❤❤

There are no words that convey my connection to this fascinating podcast. You each bring forth a piece of me that brings me understanding and even joy. I have experienced trauma, and find myself Obsessed with the need to fight for Palestinians. I am a retired Social Worker, so, of course it’s my core, but even the comment of being a ‘musician’. I just picked up my guitar again, after being alone and isolated for 9 yrs, and playing ‘Mother by Pink Floyd. I’ve lost almost everyone in my life through trauma, and Gabor, I have given your books as gifts, and you have brought me more peace than a lifetime of therapy. thank you

Economics and politics play a huge part in the health of the public.

I've listened to this 3 times now. It is brilliant. They articulate how I feel, but with far more knowledge. I true learning experience.

Big fan of Garbor Mate. His contribution to psychology (mental health) is admirable.

The toxicity of culture is a powerful. And Yianis’ hypothesis and explanation of the new economy is further proof of his genius. Two very big people whose work has impacted me so much. Thank God for good humans like these two.

Two very principled men! I hate to think how much worse the world would be without people like this......They give hope in what now seems to be a Demonic Controll system.

Two Men, not children like we are used to in our days. I have a huge respect for both of them 👍🙏🖤

Beautiful words about music from Yanis! There's a piece by Irish poet John O' Donohue "Belonging to music', that reflects exactly that, some unknown ancient spirituality that music and we all belong to.

WooHoo! Gabor and Yanis....GOLD! Free Palestine. Free Mother Earth and all that live here. Thank you for getting these two amazing humans together!!

These are beautiful men. Thank you all. I have hope when I see you and listen. I don't speak about what's happening in Gaza because everyone I know already knows, and we can see that no one wants to stop. With the US in Vietnam, there was sadism and racism on the part of the US soldiers, but it was not personal. With these two peoples, it is personal, and there is joy in the destruction and humiliation of the other. You cannot stop that. There is no end to the Israeli quest for security, and no end to the Palestinian quest for redress, freedom, and dignity.

Σας ευχαριστώ για αυτήν την εμπνευσμένη συνομιλία!

Thank you so much for this conversation and for mentioning the silence of some spiritual teachers on the genocide of Palestinians. This has greatly distressed me.

Goodness. I've never seen Yanis on the verge of tears once, let alone a number of times. We look to him as a constant source of rugged tenacity and jubilant wit in the face of the immovable meat grinder of time. But good of us all to lay on the floor and weep at this. Like anger, we need to express our grief.

Danke schön Yanis Varoufakis.For Peace news.Free Palestine

Two of the greatest and most honorable and humane individuals of our time

Fantastic conversation. Two of my very favourite people coming together in dialogue. More of these please. 🇵🇸❤️

Erich Fromm was a great pioneer of the idea of the 'pathology of normalcy' and the link to the notion of alienation in the critique of capitalism

Raoul you were brilliant and did not appear out of place among these two intellectual giants

🙏gratitude to you beautiful, illumined souls shining the light of truth into the darkness 🙏🇵🇸🙏

Two, well-meaning honest men. Thank you.

Thankyou, Raoul and EOTS, for this enlightening, profound and moving podcast with Dr Mate and Yanis Varoufakis: it was a privilege to watch them in conversation. Dr Mate spoke of the 'failures' of history ' - those with the humanity and compassion: As Samuel Beckett said "Try again. Fail again. Fail better". Always: in gratitude and solidarity.

Extraordinaria entrevista! Hace tiempo no he escuchado algo tan contundente sin deseo de imponer sus ideas. El entrevistador es maravilloso, educado y respetuoso. Yanis y Gabor son los seres humanos con una luz que los trasciende y enciende la luz en otros seres humanos. Gracias!❤

I love Dr Gabor. He is genuinely empathetic person with so much knowledge and understanding. I have read his books and they are amazing and eye opening.

I would love to have this two men (whom i follow) talking with each other once a week, here or anywhere else, for us to listen to their thougts. Loved it.

This talk has really illuminated the desperate sickness of our toxic environments. Thank you. Means of healthy resistance next please.

Two great men in the modern era. God bless them?❤

Thank you Dr. Gabor for mentioning African genocides “sanitized” from history.

"Resistance is manifesting our immune system on a communal level!" WOW. Thank you all.

Gentlemen, every 4-6 months that I spot your new recording I get my brain adjusted and invigorated (akin to algebra tuning up my mind back in high school many decades ago) thank you!!

A very real and gentle conversation about the hard as it is happening now.

Thank you, all. People like you are my oxygen. 🙏 We must all keep going and not give up.❤️

Gabor's statements about healthy anger - so relevant at all levels personal to political. Thank you for this wonderful weave of economics with psychology. I loved both Gabor's and Yanis' final statements. So clear and true from such different approaches.

So much respect for these great men.

I feel like I am trapped in Yaris’ cloud when I am listening to RU-vid sometimes. And then I find two brilliant minds like his & Gabor Mate’s come together and it makes it all worth while. Thanks for this incredible talk! Daily, I deal with trying to not feel divided & to let my anger turn into compassion but it is sometimes impossible. If I didn’t have music, walking in nature & meditation, and these different perspectives shared by people I respect,I would be a very different person!

I wish this kind of genius discussions were mainstream. Wisdom these beautiful gentlemen bring.. I am speechless. Thank you

This was a great discussion, very high level. Talk about power couples! As a leftist myself, it's nice to hear nuanced if imprecise criticisms of the USSR.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2848">47:28</a> Amazing teachings on a high level. Every topic in this interview was relevant and current. Big people indeed! Thank you!

Thank you and it helped me get through my day and stay hopeful that we need to keep demonstrating and boycotting Israel

So brilliant! Thank you so much to the 3 of you. I wondered how it would be to add Vandana Shiva to your discussion. Then all 3 of my heroes would be together. Thank you for the food for my heart and soul. Aloha from Hawai’i.

In Spain happened the same rupture of social bounds. Our culture used to be more communal and based on mutual support. Nowadays, Spain is an ultra-individualistic society with chronic unemployment and a very harsh competitivity. Also, we are top one in the use of benzodiazepines. That old image of a sunny happy country is a painful hauntology.

Beautiful conversation culminating to deep, touching connection of all three bodies and minds through the emotional realm!! :)

Wow, two of my favourite people in the world together, along with the fabulous Raoul. This is so heartwarming, thank you for posting. Keep up the good fight! ❤️

I can’t even begin to describe the impact your conversation has had on me. I follow Gabor but the immense comprehension of our human condition throughout your discussion has elevated me in a way I can’t explain xx blessings and thank you from the spiritual strangeness of Glastonbury Uk. As a small child (I’m 67!) I understood the concept of the dawning of the Age of Aquarius - it’s here …. 🙏💕🥰

Omg, Dr Mate and Yanis Varoufakis in one video together! Great, thank you😍❤💐

Thanks to all of you for this great discussion.... the sad fact is we don't realize that we are brothers and sisters ... literally.

I LOVE THESE TWO PEOPLE AND I'M GR8FUL TO HEAR AND KNOPW OF THEIR WORK AND REASSURE MYSELF THAT I'M NOT CRAZY AND THAT I'M/WE ARE NOT ALONE.

Great to have found you. Your insights gave me the courage to resist my lot as a frog in a cooking pot, seemingly warm and comfortable while being cooked(stressed) to death to be served as a meal for a few mammon. Please keep up your life-saving work. I also find great joy in music, akin to spiritual self-realization, creating the vibration deep inside of my core. Thank you!

I cant express the joy i feel, seeing these two people together event in 2D. I've been following them for quite bit of time but never together. Looking forward to see them meet in person ♥ Raoul you are the best moderator❤

I experienced a sudden fall from grace, out of 15 months of samadhi, on account of a long covid brain inflammation episode. That was kind of terrifying, in that the thinking mind suddenly switched on. It went from open, clear, vastness to overload - with every waking moment filled with racing, chaotic, incomplete shards of thoughts. I instantly decided to pay the mind no mind and thought that when I was better I would settle down, quieten down and go back into samadhi. But as time moved on and I started to recover from long covid, possibly 9 months later, I didn't want to return to nothingness as Israel had started dropping bombs on the Palestinians and I was now in deep horror, grief cycling and found that the only spirituality that made sense was in bearing witness to the genocide and using all my facilties to write ✍️ to politicians, media outlets, work the social media channels and volunteer. I had zero inclination to sit with non duality teachers who I knew would not be speaking directly to what is happening in Gaza. Though I have been enjoying two politico-spiriritual ravers, that being Chris Hedges (brilliant writer, journalist and Presbyterian minister) and the wonderful Cornell West (soulful bother, academic and Presidential candidate). And of course, if Noam Chomsky raves on long enough, he always drops into his deep and compassionate heart, that loves all beings. Hes defo a priest figure. I love compassionate activism and activists, like Gabor (and his awesome sons) and Yanis. That being said the journey inyo and out of samadhi has resulted in the apotheosis of all the C- PTSD I'd been embodying since childhood. woo hoo. And Im experiencing anger, the clearest Ive ever known it and oddly enough my immune system doesnt seem to be impacted by the incessant grief cycling. Which is amazing as I live with a number of immune disorders. Anger, Rage, Numbess, Wailing etc.. is 100% felt, expressed and honoured without any resistance, nor residue. I think they call it resilience.

This is exactly what's needed. Bring brilliant, compassionate people together. There is strength in connection. A stroke of genius. Totally agree about the silence from spiritual leaders with the notable exception of Tara Brach, Cornell West, Rabbi shapiro and some rabbis and Imans whoze names i forget. I think the ordinary people and leading thinkers like you three are the new spiritual leaders because the people who show real courage in the face of this horrific genocide by speaking up and acting in whatever way they can to help are undergoing spiritual transformation i ternally, overcomming their egos and joining in the common cause of building an authenic new humanity.

In the midst of all that's gone wrong, this video is a treasure.

I was crying at some parts. It has become rare to see and hear such a profoundly truthful and gentle conversation in our time of division, conflict and aggression. Thank you for this.

What a wonderful exchange between two brilliant individuals! Such a plethora of ideas and concepts, even wisdom. IMO, the most profound is 'We are one.' Humanity is one. All Life is One. We only have this ONLY planet. The rampant, unfettered greed that is capitalism is torturing and killing the air, the water, the soil. To my mind, the only humans that survive will be those who know how to live in small communities that are totally self-sufficient, or almost so. As we come closer and closer to the destruction and chaos that has already begun, it's more important to cultivate and maintain a deep spirituality. Honor our Divine connection to living beings, honor our Earth. The goal now is not to win, but do to our best to be good to ourselves, to those who WILL come after us, to others, to the great All.

Gabor is asking the right questions. WOW !!!

Μπράβο παιδιά! Ο νοών νοείτω. Excellent discussion, thank you

Thank you both amazing human beings for sharing !

What a privilege to hear such men! A glorious reaching into the world to lift humanity, is not failure in my definition. It might just be humanity learning to walk rather than crawl in the mire.

I am glad you are sharing these clips for free!!

Appreciate this important discussion between two amazing thinkers, doers, activists. Thanks for your activism. Deborah

I have no words to express my thoughts and appreciation for this magnificent interview. I wish more people will have the interest to listen and learn from this two great teachers and philosophers .MPRAVO to the host and to Yanis and Gabor.

TWO SOCIAL SOULS COME TOGETHER TALKING THE POLY-CRISIS, VERY APPRECIATED AND THANKFUL.AMAZING PEOPLE HERE IN ALSO GREAT CONVERSATION.

2 amazing authors!

Deepest appreciation for this conversation, and as a spiritual teacher, I renew my commitment to speaking out against the atrocities in Gaza. Thank you both for role modeling the New Human: compassionate, thoughtful, inclusive, connected🙏🏼

My two favorite wisdom keepers.

Wow my two favorite dudes rn!! Thank you algorithm 😭
