SUMMARY:Living Well with Gordana Hassett
DESCRIPTION:In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction\
 nGabor Maté\nTo order a book please contact the library desk.  This even
 t is free and all are welcome. Co-sponsored by Northern Light Health/Casti
 ne Community Heather Center.\nAn addiction specialist combines real-life s
 tories with cutting-edge research to offer a holistic approach to understa
 nding addiction—its origins\, its place in society\, and the importance 
 of self-compassion in recovery. \nBased on Gabor Maté’s two decades of
  experience as a medical doctor and his groundbreaking work with the sever
 ely addicted on Vancouver’s skid row\, this #1 international bestseller 
 radically re-envisions this much misunderstood field by taking a holistic 
 approach to substance abuse and addiction recovery.\n\nIn the same vein as
  Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score\, In the Realm of Hung
 ry Ghosts traces the root causes of addiction to childhood trauma and exa
 mines the pervasiveness of addiction in society. Dr. Maté presents addict
 ion not as a discrete phenomenon confined to an unfortunate or weak-willed
  few\, but as a continuum that runs throughout—and perhaps underpins—o
 ur society. It is not a medical “condition” distinct from the lives it
  affects but rather the result of a complex interplay among personal histo
 ry\, emotional and neurological development\, brain chemistry\, and the dr
 ugs and behaviors of addiction. Simplifying a wide array of brain and addi
 ction research findings from around the globe\, the book avoids glib self-
 help remedies\, instead promoting a thorough and compassionate self-unders
 tanding as the first key to healing and wellness.\n\nDr. Maté argues per
 suasively against contemporary health\, social\, and criminal justice poli
 cies toward addiction and how they perpetuate the War on Drugs. (Penguin
