In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction by Gabor Maté
4.0
Having had the opportunity to meet Maté and hear him give a talk and reading was an amazing experience. He is truly a remarkable person trying to improve a flawed system while advocating to empower those within society who continue to be marginalized. He offers dignity, humanity and understanding to a complicated issue, complex people and a down-and-out neighbourhood.
Maté offers insight and information that are sometimes interpreted as controversial but I feel he thinks, speaks and writes from a place of truth and is a person who is genuinely trying to enact positive social change. It is a rare individual that does not judge others and has the strength of empathy to put himself in another's shoes. I recommend all of his works very highly.
