Based on Gabor Maté’s two decades of experience as a medical doctor and his groundbreaking work with the severely addicted on Vancouver’s skid row, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts radically reenvisions this much misunderstood field by taking a holistic approach. Dr. Maté presents addiction not as a discrete phenomenon confined to an unfortunate or weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs throughout (and perhaps underpins) our society; not a medical "condition" distinct from the lives it affects, rather the result of a complex interplay among personal history, emotional, and neurological development, brain chemistry, and the drugs (and behaviors) of addiction. Simplifying a wide array of brain and addiction research findings from around the globe, the book avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting a thorough and compassionate self-understanding as the first key to healing and wellness. In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts argues persuasively against contemporary health, social, and criminal justice policies toward addiction and those impacted by it. The mix of personal stories—including the author’s candid discussion of his own "high-status" addictive tendencies—and science with positive solutions makes the book equally useful for lay readers and professionals.
当时读完The Biology of Desire马克的这本书，十分喜欢成瘾≠疾病的argument。我和成瘾患者打交道不深，但有一点点自己的心得：飞蛾扑火在我们的语言里是对自取灭亡者的蔑视，但是仔细想想看，飞蛾真的想毁灭自己么？飞蛾只是遵循本能飞向光和热，扑上的恰好是一团火罢了。从自我毁灭的病态成瘾到无伤大雅的日常习惯，我们可以学习太多：本能、习惯、自我、生物的境遇以及环境。地藏菩萨发誓去地狱渡...当时读完The Biology of Desire马克的这本书，十分喜欢成瘾≠疾病的argument。我和成瘾患者打交道不深，但有一点点自己的心得：飞蛾扑火在我们的语言里是对自取灭亡者的蔑视，但是仔细想想看，飞蛾真的想毁灭自己么？飞蛾只是遵循本能飞向光和热，扑上的恰好是一团火罢了。从自我毁灭的病态成瘾到无伤大雅的日常习惯，我们可以学习太多：本能、习惯、自我、生物的境遇以及环境。地藏菩萨发誓去地狱渡人，但是被卡在炼狱里的饿鬼离我们更近——那些为了逃避地狱般精神痛楚的人类，不小心被卡在了那。(展开)
读完感想太多反而不知道怎么写了。放两句作者在书中引用的话吧： all heroic myths are prototypes of what is the greatest journey of all, the quest for spiritual truth inside the soul. There is only one story, only one quest, one adventure. And there is only one...

想戒要从心底想才行，找到导致压力的原因。不过如果因为小时候比较惨的经历，那就完蛋了。或者说如果没有及时止损，后半生都容易误入歧途。对社会criminalize addiction的讨论引人深思，究其根本讨论到资本主义和财富分配不均👍🏻 每个人上瘾的东西都不一样，何必五十步笑百步。
