In the book In the World of the Hungry Spirit: Close Encounters with Addiction, Mate speaks with unparalleled compassion and understanding of the human condition about the types of trauma addicts have experienced and the ways in which it affects their decision-making later in life. In the world of the hungry spirit, there is a powerful narrative about the complexity of human nature, where the addict's confusing and contradictory emotions collide with rational thoughts, and about the agonizing struggle that each of them fights day and night.
