Beschreibung

<p><b>The award-winning bestseller on the root causes of addiction - and how to heal it - from the author of <i>When the Body Say No</i>, Dr Gabor Maté</b><br><br>'[Maté] is <b>a healer to be cherished</b>' Naomi Klein, bestselling author of <i>The Shock Doctrine </i><br><br>'One of the most <b>important</b>, <b>wise</b> and <b>compassionate </b>voices in the world on addiction. <b>Everyone should read this profound book</b>' Johann Hari, author of <i>Lost Connections </i><br><br><b>What causes addiction? And how can we truly heal from it? </b><br><br>In his profound and compassionate book, leading voice in trauma and addiction recovery, Dr Gabor Maté, explores the psychology of addiction and the path to self-understanding and healing.<br><br>As 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.<br><br>In his groundbreaking work, now updated with a new chapter on the Opioid crisis, Maté takes a holistic and compassionate approach to addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money or anything self-destructive. He presents addiction 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.<br><br>Distilling cutting-edge research from around the world, Maté avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness.<br><br><b>Blending personal stories and science with positive solutions, and written in spellbinding prose, <i>In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts </i>is a compassionate must-read that has transformed how we think about healing, trauma, and addiction.</b></p>
