Dr. Gabor Mat is one of the worlds most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction. His radical findingsbased on decades of work with patients challenged by catastrophic drug addiction and mental illnessare reframing how we view all human development.

He presents it not as a discrete phenomenon confined to a weak-willed few, but as a continuum that runs through (and even underpins) our societynot as a medical condition, but rather the result of a complex interplay of personal history, emotional development and brain chemistry.

Blending personal stories and science with positive solutions, and written in spellbinding prose, it is a must-read that will change how you see yourself, others and the world.
