3 quotes from In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts

"The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, but connection."
"Trauma is not what happens to us, but how we respond to what happens to us."

Author : Gabor Maté

Dr. Gabor Maté is a Hungarian-born Canadian physician renowned for his expertise in addiction and his insightful views on Attention Deficit Disorder, emphasizing the integral connection between mental and physical health. Born in Budapest in 1944, he survived the Holocaust, with multiple family members lost during the genocide. Emigrating to Canada in 1957, Maté initially taught English before pursuing his dream of medicine. He spent over two decades in private practice in East Vancouver and served as the medical coordinator for the Palliative Care Unit at Vancouver Hospital. Currently, he is the staff physician at the Portland Hotel, a resource center for marginalized individuals facing mental illness, addiction, and HIV. His latest work, "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts," reflects upon his profound experiences with addiction, and he has gained national attention for advocating on behalf of harm reduction initiatives in Canada.
