About the book

In his book, *In the World of Hungry Ghosts*, physician and psychological researcher Gabor Matthieu offers a profound insight. And it differs in its concept of addiction, as it is not viewed as deviant behavior or weakness of will, but rather as a natural human response. For deep psychological wounds that have not been treated.

Drawing on his extensive experience in treating addicts, the author explains how unrecognized emotional pain leads to... To compulsive attachment to drugs, food, work, relationships, or any behavior that gives the illusion of temporary comfort.

The book is a human and scientific journey that reveals the relationship between trauma, childhood, the brain, and addictive behavior. It calls for empathy instead of condemnation, and for understanding instead of punishment.
