A profoundly impactful book that has forced me to change how I asses those who suffer from addiction.In the age of hyperbolic slogans and simple solutions, Dr.Gabor Mate steps above the fray.His integration of material science and the probing of the human psyche under distress is truly enlightening.In The Realm of Hungry Ghost is more then just an excellent investigation of addiction and trauma , it can provide the intellectual roadmap for addicts and their loved ones to understand how they got into this dire state and it can provide the first steps towards the promise land of redemption.
