Dr Gabor Maté is one of the world’s most revered thinkers on the psychology of addiction. His radical findings - based on decades of work with patients challenged by catastrophic drug addiction and mental illness - are reframing how we view all human development. In this award-winning modern classic, Gabor Maté takes a holistic and compassionate approach to addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, money or anything self-destructive. 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 society.

When we seek comfort and relief from stress, Tara Brach teaches, we often unconsciously turn to false refuges such as material wealth, approval from others, or a preoccupation with the past and future. Yet by cultivating true refuge in this moment, not only can we find shelter from the storms of life but we also open ourselves up to fully experiencing joy and fulfillment. Here, Tara Brach guides a meditation using the therapeutic R.A.I.N. process for releasing fear and healing through self-compassion.

For Amanda Palmer, actions like these have gone beyond satisfying her basic needs for food and shelter - they've taught her how to turn strangers into friends, build communities, and discover her own giving impulses.

"Let your illness be your spiritual teacher!" Make a statement like that to someone who's struggled for years with, say, rheumatoid arthritis, and be prepared for an eye roll (at best). To Peter Fernando's credit, he makes that statement, and no such impulse arises. We believe him because he's been there himself and because he backs up the statements with his own real experiences and with real wisdom from Buddhist teachings.

Good introduction

Summary
Drawing on the wisdom of Buddhist teachings, illustrative stories and the transformative power of meditation, Tara guides us in healing the shame and fear that bind our hearts.
In the West, most of us have suffered the fear of not being 'good enough', feeling insecure about our appearance, our sexuality, our intelligence, our spiritual progress or - often most importantly - being worthy of love. When these feelings of insufficiency or self-aversion are strong, we fear abandonment and rejection. Many people have already found the Buddhist perspective on our emotional life to be extremely valuable - and this book will be a major practical contribution to the subject.
Critic reviews

"An insightful, warmhearted and important contribution to the emerging field of therapeutic mindfulness." (Tara Bennett-Goleman)
"Offers gentle wisdom and tender healing." (Jack Kornfield)

fantastic content deserves better narrator
This book contains important and timeless wisdom, but the the narrator doesn't do it Justice. it's just about tolerable, but she doesn't seem to understand or care about the content much at all. I sorely wish she understood the importance of pauses. it spoils the flow and digestibility of the content when she rattles through profound points without a breath. the guided meditation sessions are hopeless; it might as well be read by Siri. Tara Brach's own authenticity is required here. fortunately Tara narrated at least one of her other books, which results is a dramatically improved listening experience.

The narration is just awful
I returned this audio book. The narration is just awful. I really wanted to listen to this audio book, and I gave it a go, but I couldn't go through with it as Cassandra Campbell as a narrator is just terrible. She narrated Pema Chodron's book "When Things Fall Apart" and I couldn't listen to that either. She completely ruined it. Penguin: please get someone else other than Cassandra Campbell to narrate your audio books. I cannot listen to her drab, dreary voice.

Maybe it’s me, but I found it terrible
Maybe it’s me, but I found it terrible even though I like Tara Brach otherwise. I found it hard to follow and with no clear point (or even worst the point was made in the first 30min, the rest was just mumbling on with examples with no added value). Maybe I’ll be ready further on. The only positive thing is that overall it made me think about myself and my close ones with more kindness and awareness.
