In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction by Gabor Maté

5.0

Gabor Maté's understanding of addiction -its sources, causes and complexities - is refreshing and eye-opening. He is compassionate and observant, and he's not afraid to turn the tables on himself to closely examine his own addictions. We all have them, to varying degrees, whether it's to drugs, alcohol, sex, food, shopping, work, etc. This book helps to gain an understanding of the hidden forces that drive our behavior, often without our conscious knowledge.
