▶ What is Addiction? by Gabor Mate

"The attempt to escape from pain is what creates more pain."

Gabor Maté

Dr. Gabor Maté is one of our favorite people at mangu.tv.

On this clip he talks about the root causes of addiction and how to deal with them.

This is taken from the Q&A part of TJ Dawe’s show - “Medicine”.
