About this book
In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction is a 2008 book by the Canadian physician Gabor Maté. Drawing on his years of work with people addicted to drugs in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, Maté looks at the scientific and psychological causes of addiction.
He argues that addiction is not a moral failing and that the usual image of the addict in the media does not match the reality of the condition.
