  1. In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction A &#8220thught-provoking and powerful&#8221study that reframes everything you&#8217vebeen taught about addiction and recovery&#8212frm the New York Times&#8211betselling author of The Myth of Normal (Bruce Perry, author of The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog). A world-renowned trauma expert combines real-life stories with cutting-edge research to offer a holistic approach to understanding addiction&#8212it origins, its place in society, and the importance of self-compassion in recovery. Based on Gabor Mat&#233#8217s two decades of experience as a medical doctor and his groundbreaking work with people with addiction on Vancouver&#8217sskid row, this #1 international bestseller radically re-envisions a much misunderstood condition by taking a compassionate approach to substance abuse and addiction recovery. &nbspIn the same vein as Bessel van der Kolk&#8217sThe Body Keeps the Score, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts traces the root causes of addiction to childhood trauma and examines the pervasiveness of addiction in society. Dr. Mat&#233presents addiction not as a discrete phenomenon confined to an unfortunate or weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs throughout&#8212an perhaps underpins&#8212ou society. It is not a medical &#8220codition&#8221distinct from the lives it affects but rather the result of a complex interplay among personal history, emotional and neurological development, brain chemistry, and the drugs and behaviors of addiction.Simplifying a wide array of brain and addiction research findings from around the globe, the book avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting a thorough and compassionate self-understanding as the first key to healing

  2. and wellness.Dr. Mat&#233nbspargues persuasively against contemporary health, social, and criminal justice policies toward addiction and how they perpetuate the War on Drugs. The mix of personal stories&#8212inluding the author&#8217scandid discussion of his own &#8220hih- status&#8221addictive tendencies&#8212an science with positive solutions makes the book equally useful for lay readers and professionals.
