From a review on the dust-jacket: "This is a lucid and important book that is chock full of insights into why people behave the way they do. Rachlin reviews research and theory on self-control with a suitable blend of scientific rigor and lively prose. The book advances the field by presenting in a systematic fashion what is known about one of the central phenomena in behavior - self-control - and by enhancing (with the help of some illuminating and engaging examples) our understanding of self-control and how it may be understood in the larger context of choice." Chapter titles include: habit and willpower, simple ambivalence, complex ambivalence, the lonely addict, soft commitment, rules and probability, self-control and social co-operation. . Hard Cover.
