To heal addiction, you have to go back to the start... Featured on
Russell Brand's podcast Under the Skin Dr Gabor Mate is one of the
world's most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction. His
radical findings - based on decades of work with patients challenged by
catastrophic drug addiction and mental illness - are reframing how we
view all human development.
In this award-winning modern
classic, Gabor Mate takes a holistic and compassionate approach to
addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money or anything
self-destructive. He presents it not as a discrete phenomenon confined
to a weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs through (and even
underpins) our society; not as a medical 'condition', but rather the
result of a complex interplay of personal history, emotional development
and brain chemistry. Distilling cutting-edge research from around the
world, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts avoids glib self-help remedies,
instead promoting self-understanding as the first key to healing and
wellness.
Blending personal stories and science with positive
solutions, and written in spellbinding prose, it is a must-read that
will change how you see yourself, others and the world. 10th
anniversary edition, updated with new chapter on the Opiod crisis
