Can't Just Stop: An Investigation of Compulsions Begley Sharon Paperback
Using in-depth case studies to explore how we grapple with compulsion in ourselves and those we love, 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. They may look profoundly different, but these behaviors are all ways of coping with varying degrees of anxiety. Sharing 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 together--from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) to hoarding, to compulsive exercise, even compulsions to do good.
