In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts

Close Encounters with Addiction

Gabor Maté

Discover how addiction is not a personal weakness but a complex issue rooted in various factors such as personal history, emotional development, and brain chemistry. In this groundbreaking book based on two decades of experience as a medical doctor, Dr. Gabor Maté presents addiction as a societal issue that requires a holistic approach for healing and wellness. Using a mix of personal stories and science, "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" provides a thorough and compassionate understanding of addiction and argues persuasively against current addiction policies. A must-read for both professionals and lay readers.
