Produktinformationen zu „Can't Just Stop (ePub)“
Using in-depth case studies, Can't Just Stop examines the science behind both mild and extreme compulsive behavior"a fascinating read about human behavior and how it can go haywire" (The Charlotte Observer).
Whether shopping with military precision or hanging the tea towels just so, compulsion is something most of us have witnessed in daily life. But compulsions exist along a broad continuum and, at the opposite end of these mild forms, exist life-altering disorders.
Sharon Begley's meticulously researched book is the first to examine all of these behaviors togetherfrom obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) to hoarding, to compulsive exercise, even compulsions to do good. They may look profoundly different, but these behaviors are all ways of coping with varying degrees of anxiety. Sharing personal stories from dozens of interviewees, "Begley combines a personal topic with thoughtfulness and sensitivity" (Library Journal) and gives meaningful context to their plight. Along the way she explores the role of compulsion in our fast-paced culture, the brain science behind it, and strange manifestations of the behavior throughout history.
Can't Just Stop makes compulsion comprehensible and accessible, with "fresh insight that could fundamentally alter how we think of, and treat, mental illness going forward" (Publishers Weekly).
