Combining up-to-date science with anecdotal witticisms, this groundbreaking book explores obsessive-compulsive traits. It looks at the cause of these traits in the brain, and how we can manage them day-to-day. Discussing the link between brain evolution and obsessive traits, this is a highly insightful and original look into common compulsions.

The neuroscience behind Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, the unhelpful assumptions and actual reality of the condition, and the best practice for keeping the facets of the condition in check are explored in this in-depth investigation by neuropsychiatrist C. Thomas Gualtieri.
