520 $aThe 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.
