6.99 €
Modern man knows firsthand about obsessive compulsive disorder. How often we literally can't stop, frantically checking messages on our smartphone, trying to complete a level in a video game, or buying things even though we have nowhere else to put them.
But where is the line between norm and pathology, and most importantly, when is purposefulness and obsession the path to creativity and success, and when is it a fruitless and dangerous waste of effort and time? In the book, the author talks about the history of the study of the issue, how compulsive behavior differs from addiction and how the "compulsive brain" works.
The relevance of the problem, conversations with leading experts on compulsive behavior, the fates of real patients make this book equally informative and fascinating.
