The book In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts and Gabor Mate himself sure get a lot of attention !!  I am now reading to book from start  finish after giving it a quick scan.  So far, I have one large feeling and one large question right off the bat.  First the feeling:

- there is a LOT of learning in this book !! I feel that everyone in the western world should read this book! And I want to find ways to capture, share and make real the learnings in practical ways.  How could we do that?  Hold workshops? Have gatherings similar to book clubs?  Start a blog? hmMM? Did you read the book? Would you tell me what you found valuable? And tell me what you think in general. Some look at Mate as  a hero, what do you feel?

And now the question:

- who the hell is Fellini? Mate refers to him twice in the first few pages of the book – and also,  I guess I have 2 questions – I also need to ask - “Hey Gabor, who did you write this book for?”
