Overview
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 Begleyās meticulously researched book is the first to examine all of these behaviors togetherāfrom 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, āBegley combines a personal topic with thoughtfulness and sensitivityā (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.
Canāt Just Stop makes compulsion comprehensible and accessible, with āfresh insight that could fundamentally alter how we think of, and treat, mental illness going forwardā (Publishers Weekly).
