In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts - Gabor Mate

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts – Dr. Gabor Maté 

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts is Dr. Gabor Maté’s compassionate, deeply researched exploration of addiction—its origins, its emotional roots, and its devastating impact on individuals and communities. Drawing from years of treating some of Vancouver’s most vulnerable patients, Maté shows that addiction is not a moral failure but a response to trauma, pain, and unmet emotional needs.

Through clinical insight, neuroscience, and moving personal accounts, Maté illustrates how people caught in addiction are not fundamentally different from the rest of us, but are living at the furthest edge of human vulnerability. His work challenges stigma and offers a more humane understanding of why people turn to harmful behaviors—and how healing can begin. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
