Twenty years ago, Gabor Maté published In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, a groundbreaking book that challenged the prevailing views of addiction as a moral failing or a sign of weakness. Drawing on his own experience as a physician working with drug addicts, Maté argued that addiction is a complex disease with deep roots in our biology, psychology, and society.

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts was a critical and commercial success, and it has since been translated into more than twenty languages. The book has been praised by addiction experts, policymakers, and people in recovery for its compassionate and evidence-based approach to addiction.

In this twentieth anniversary edition, Maté has added a new preface that reflects on the book's impact over the past two decades and explores the latest scientific research on addiction. Maté argues that while there have been some important advances in our understanding of addiction, there is still much more that we need to learn. He also calls for a more compassionate and humane approach to addiction treatment.

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand addiction. It is a powerful and moving book that offers hope and healing to those who are struggling with addiction and their loved ones.
