I highly recommend Hungry Ghosts for anyone that wants to understand addiction (it’s an escape from pain that probably started in childhood ). You could also go straight to The Myth of Normal which has some of this information from his other works. The Joe Rogan interview was one of Rogans worst jobs interviewing- there’s a lot more depth that Mate has to give and some of it comes out in other interviews he has given. There’s a few on YouTube https://youtu.be/H9B5mYfBPlY https://youtu.be/H9B5mYfBPlY

  I didnt find it worst at all. It was able to convey his ideas and as a result of liking the ideas so much; I bought and read all of Mate's books. The worst ones are the ones where he onlyntalks about himself. I would nominate the interview with Louis Theroux, number 835 [0]. This was an extremely wasted opportunity to talk with the best and one of our most prolific documentaries of our time. For what it's worth, these are the best ever: * 908 Leah Remini * 1609 Elon Musk * 1518 David Choe [0], https://open.spotify.com/episode/0IGHoKiXvNiWJU9S9xPpei?si=SoyHHysdTda7sZfCyM59Eg https://open.spotify.com/episode/0IGHoKiXvNiWJU9S9xPpei?si=S...

Stumbling upon Gabor Mate and his book 'Scattered Minds' by literal chance made me realize not only that I had (severe) ADHD, but it that it could be traced back to interactions and stresses from my early childhood that mirrors information I had about my parents' emotional situation during that period. Since then, it has been a long journey until finding the right therapist and meds. If there is a book that has radically changed my life for the better, it is this one. I wish I knew about my condition and family history 20 or 30 years ago.
