In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts - by Gabor Maté (Paperback)

This groundbreaking book by Dr.

Gabor Maté offers a revolutionary new perspective on addiction, one that challenges conventional wisdom and provides a compassionate approach to recovery.

Drawing on two decades of experience working with people struggling with addiction on Vancouver's skid row, Dr.

Maté presents a holistic understanding of addiction as an interplay between personal history, emotional development, brain chemistry, and the drugs and behaviors of addiction.

By taking a radical approach to understanding this complex condition, Dr.

Maté argues persuasively against contemporary health, social, and criminal justice policies towards addiction, and instead promotes a thorough and compassionate self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness.

With real-life stories and cutting-edge research, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts offers a transformative new understanding of addiction and recovery, one that has the power to change lives.
