Rebel Book Club Manchester x REWIRED
About this Event
About the book:
Gabor Maté is one of the world's most respected voices on addiction, trauma, and childhood development, and he himself has ADD. In , he challenges the idea that attention deficit disorder is purely genetic, arguing instead that it develops through the interplay of environment, stress, and early childhood experience. Drawing on neuroscience, his clinical practice, and his own life as both someone with ADD and the parent of diagnosed children, Maté offers a compassionate, evidence-based framework for understanding the condition and, crucially, for healing it.
Why we chose it: “A healer to be cherished and this exciting book arrives at just the right time” - Naomi Klein
Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing your own journeys across countries and continents.

Your host for the evening
Omar Latif
Omar is the founder of an AI startup and also pursuing a PhD in Behavioural AI. One big reason Omar joined RBC is to get away from academic literature, gain knowledge in areas outside of his interests and to have engaging conversations with the awesome community.
There is a clear alliance with the philosophy and taste of RBC as Omar has already read 70% of the books from the Rebel Book Club library!
Ryan Fellows
Co-host Ryan is an Honorary Salfordian having lived here for 14 years, but proudly born and raised in Preston
Having discovered RBC during ‘lockdown’ the monthly variety was a welcome distraction and the old zoom meets’ helped keep his sanity! Post Covid he’s looking to help build the Manchester crew
A keen amateur historian and lover of most sports; when not delving into a new book he’ll be watching the weekend's football or out running (in the famous Manchester rain!).
