This is the age of addiction, a condition so epidemic, so all encompassing and ubiquitous, that unless you are fortunate enough to be an extreme case, you probably don't know that you have it. What unhealthy habits and attachments are holding your life together? Are you unconsciously dependent on food? Bad relationships? A job that doesn't fulfill you? Numb, constant perusal of your phone, looking for what? My qualification for writing this book is not that I am better than you, it's that I am worse.

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.

If every therapist and psychotherapist on the planet could repeat this to their clients, like a mantra, again and again, there would be fewer therapists and psychotherapists. Because it works. Very quickly. Realising that what you're worrying about and stressing over doesn't really matter so much in the grand scheme of things is the door to freedom and healing. And the little profanity 'F**k It' is the key to that door.

Summary
Mindfulness, the quality of attention that combines full awareness with acceptance of each moment, just as it is, is gaining broad acceptance among mental health professionals as an adjunct to treatment. Because at the heart of addiction is the fear of painful emotional states, addicts compulsively seek drugs and alcohol to avoid or escape emotional pain. Mindfulness, on the other hand, helps us develop greater acceptance and ease with life’s challenges, as well as greater self-compassion.
Here, Dr. Lawrence Peltz, who has worked as an addiction psychiatrist for more than two decades, draws from his clinical experience and on the techniques of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) to explain the fundamental dynamics of addiction and the stages of the recovery process, and also gives us specific mindfulness exercises to support recovery.

More than expected
It is very well written. Examples of patients are very interesting and real. I meditate and I have read some books about mindfulness but I learn from this book a lot of new things. For example that thoughts could be also seen as an addiction or that taking drugs helps people cope in short term, so addicts are not crazy, they just don't know how do better. And most important how mindfulness can support recovery - other ways like AA meeting and psychoterapy are also discussed.

A great start in the path to recovery.
This is the first audible book I have listened to upon subscribing.
It has not really changed anything for me in the sense I hoped it would just magically fix my problems… but then I admit, that was always wishful thinking.
I still can say (with hope) that it has/will put me in a better state of mind to continue on my path and bolster what I have learned from this book by now going on to listen to others.
There are many moments in this audio book that do hit home in a good way…
The knowledge that there are others dealing with exactly the same issues.
It also helped me to accept that I am not a monster who has unique problems, and that my problems now feel more a sense of ‘normal’ symptoms that come with depression/anxiety etc…
Now I know I am not alone, and the feelings and thoughts I struggle with are shared, recognised and understood I have real hope that the next audio book will give me a greater empowerment to not give up.
I wish you all good luck, love and hope. Never give up.

The best 12 step mindfulness book out there!
This amazing book is the best 12 step mindfulness book out there. I would know, because I've read many of the popular ones! The content is so well developed in connecting mindfulness to recovery that it's short of transformative.
The book's narrator talks faster than I think is best for a book like this that you really need to absorb. I slowed down the reading for better processing. That is the audio book's only drawback. I would highly recommend!

The missing piece
The missing piece when the physical addiction is not the problem anymore.
Addiction is the sum of a long series of moments, that at some point constituted the present, and finally add up into what is called addiction. And this book points to those moments and how to deal with them.
By analyzing the "present" one can find also deeper roots of what has caused or is causing the addition.
For me this book is a master peace. I'm going to hear it again because I don't want to miss any detail.

So happy I accidentally listened to this
Was listening to another book about mindfulness and somehow ended up on this one before I knew it. One of the most important books I’ve ever “read,” even though I’m someone without clear addictions. For me the book really explained so much of the intricacies of any compulsive or avoidance behavior so many of us have in small and large ways, and presented techniques and ideas for addressing this. I learned a lot that I have put into use. I have listened to this book at least five times at this point, very rare for me.
