”In the Realm of the Hungry Ghosts” by Dr. Gabor Maté explores the Buddhist concept of this domain of addiction in which we constantly seek something outside ourselves to curb an insatiable yearning for relief or fulfillment. The tragic irony is that this emptiness persists because the things we chase - substances, objects, or status - are not what we truly need for happiness. If we remain in this hungry ghost mode, we’ll never know what we need to feel content.
