In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction by Gabor Maté

5.0

I thought I briefly knew about (drug) addiction but this book changed everything. I feel like I know so much more about how anyone could become an addict to literally anything, including myself, because of the little things in their childhood - or rather, even during pregnancy. Really would recommend. It’s definitely one of my favourites and essentials now. Proper healthcare needs to be administered to help addicts, not using punitive measures just to get them out of our sight!
