520 1 $a"The book is organized around parallel analyses
of emotion and addiction in order to bring out similarities
as well as differences. Elster's study sheds fresh light on
the generation of human behavior, ultimately revealing how
cognition, choice, and rationality are undermined by the
physical processes that underlie strong emotions and
cravings. This book will be of particular interest to those
studying the variety of human motivations who are
dissatisfied with the prevailing reductionisms."--BOOK
