Dr. Gabor Mat\\xe9 (@DrGaborMate) is a physician who specializes in neurology, psychiatry, and psychology. He\'s well known for studying and treating addiction.

Dr. Mat\\xe9 has written several books, including the award-winning In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction. His work has been published internationally in 20 languages, and he\'s received the Hubert Evans Prize for Literary Non-Fiction; an Honorary Degree (Law) from the University of Northern British Columbia; an Outstanding Alumnus Award from Simon Fraser University; and the 2012 Martin Luther King Humanitarian Award from Mothers Against Teen Violence. He is an adjunct professor in the Faculty of Criminology, Simon Fraser University.

I\'ve wanted to invite Dr. Mat\\xe9 to this podcast for a while because he is not only an expert in the pathologies of addiction, but he\'s experimented with -- and used successfully -- tools that are perhaps outside the realm of traditional psychiatry. He is also a co-founder, along with Vicky Dulai, of Compassion for Addiction, a group that advocates for a new way to understand and treat addiction.

Enjoy!
