In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts : Close Encounter with AddictionGabor Maté2008

Dr Gabor Maté is one of the world's most revered thinkers on th epsychology of addiction. His radical findings are reframing how we view all human development.

In this award-winning modern classic, Gabor Maté takes us on a journey into the root causes of addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money, stress, power or the result of being "weak-willed", he sees addiction as a continuum that runs through our society: the result of a personal history, emotional development and brain chemistry.

Distilling cutting-edge research and decades of field work with patients on the edge, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts avoids glib self-help remedies, instead exploring self-understanding as the first step to wellness. This spellbinding book will change how you see yourself, others and the world.
