À propos de cet audio
In this timely and profoundly original book, best-selling writer and physician Gabor Maté looks at the epidemic of addictions in our society, tells us why we are so prone to them and what is needed to liberate ourselves from their hold on our emotions and behaviours.
For over seven years Gabor Maté has been the staff physician at the Portland Hotel, a residence and harm reduction facility in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. His patients are challenged by life-threatening drug addictions, mental illness, Hepatitis C or HIV and, in many cases, all four. But if Dr. Maté’s patients are at the far end of the spectrum, there are many others among us who are also struggling with addictions. Drugs, alcohol, tobacco, work, food, sex, gambling, and excessive inappropriate spending: what is amiss with our lives that we seek such self-destructive ways to comfort ourselves? And why is it so difficult to stop these habits, even as they threaten our health, jeopardize our relationships, and corrode our lives?
Beginning with a dramatically close view of his drug addicted patients, Dr. Maté looks at his own history of compulsive behaviour. He weaves the stories of real people who have struggled with addiction with the latest research on addiction and the brain. Providing a bold synthesis of clinical experience, insight, and cutting-edge scientific findings, Dr. Maté sheds light on this most puzzling of human frailties. He proposes a compassionate approach to helping drug addicts and, for the many behaviour addicts among us, to addressing the void addiction is meant to fill.
I believe there is one addiction process, whether it manifests in the lethal substance dependencies of my Downtown Eastside patients, the frantic self-soothing of overeaters or shopaholics, the obsessions of gamblers, sexaholics and compulsive internet users, or in the socially acceptable and even admired behaviours of the workaholic. Drug addicts are often dismissed and discounted as unworthy of empathy and respect. In telling their stories my intent is to help their voices to be heard and to shed light on the origins and nature of their ill-fated struggle to overcome suffering through substance use. Both in their flaws and their virtues they share much in common with the society that ostracizes them. If they have chosen a path to nowhere, they still have much to teach the rest of us. In the dark mirror of their lives we can trace outlines of our own.

In this culmination of his life’s work, Peter A. Levine draws on his broad experience as a clinician, a student of comparative brain research, a stress scientist and a keen observer of the naturalistic animal world to explain the nature and transformation of trauma in the body, brain and psyche. In an Unspoken Voice is based on the idea that trauma is neither a disease nor a disorder, but rather an injury caused by fright, helplessness and loss that can be healed by engaging our innate capacity to self-regulate high states of arousal and intense emotions.

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

As an addict, i feel i speak with some authority in saying "not since the titular book by the Fellowship that kicked off the recovery movement have we seen a book with similar authority abd explanatory power regarding the disease of addiction. My congtulations Dr. Mate.
i recommend this book highly for anyone looking to develop their understanding of addiction. a very sensitive read.

Should be required reading for ALL Families
The collaborative presentation of “ Hungry Ghosts”by author Gabor and son Daniel, narrator is phenomenal, comprehensive, practical and relevant to all families,focusing on a global issue of addiction and the understanding of the addictive brain and behaviour. Addiction is not exclusive to substance, alcohol or gaming behaviours alone but is endemic to all of us human beings to a lesser degree perhaps who struggle to blend in with the exigencies of human condition, struggling for survival in this troubled world of ours. I been ‘preaching’ about “In the Realm ** recommending it to all and sundry,.I read the actual hard copy, first, then on my tablet via Libbys Library and 3rd time experience, listening, to my supreme satisfaction, on AUDIBLE . Profound gratitude for the gift of Gabor !

Hungry Ghosts is a must read
Daniel does a fantastic read of his dads book on addiction.
The book chronicles Gabor’s time as a physician in the downtown east side of Vancouver and includes much insight into the lives of addicts and the underlying physiology and life circumstances that drive addiction.
Gabor clearly sees the humanity in his patients and lends a compassionate viewpoint to a group of people who are often marginalized in our society.
I believe that this is a must read/listen for anyone who wants to better understand their own minds as well as the minds of those afflicted by addiction.
Gabor’s telling of addicts stories and sharing of related neuroscience manages to shed light on a topic that people tend to ignore or misunderstand.
I Highly recommend you read it!

Excellent Information on Addictions
I picked up this book on a recommendation from a co-worker who is an addictions councilor. I am very grateful to have done this. The stories of Dr. Mate's patients and observations on addictions are insightful and enlightening. I have never really given much thought in to the mindset of individuals who suffer destructive addictions and what brought them to the points they are at This book offers an excellent insight in to this world and I highly recommend it to everyone if only to help further understand what people can be dealing with.
The audio (audible) version of this book is well read, the narrator presents the information excellently. The story is engaging and I listened to it whenever I could.
This is most definitely a 5 star read for story, information learned and as an audio book an excellent listen.
