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. .

Unclipped DJ has no tears, no chipping, just a trace of shelf-wear. - - - From the author of the best-selling "The Courage to Change", the case studies of 50 people who have experienced great adversity and found the courage to overcome it. An excellent book to read for people experiencing a tremendous hardship or misfortune resulting in physical or emotional pain. The case study interviews are presented as short essays and prefaced by the author's succinct comments. They focus on such hardships as physical handicap, divorce, addiction, disease, and the death of loved ones. Some of those profiled are well-known personalities (Jim Brady, Betty Ford, Peggy Say, Charles Colson), but most are individuals whose stories are not widely known (a war widow, a handicapped dentist, an AIDS patient, a wife of victim of terrorism on Pan Am Flight 103). They provide inspiring role models of people who have grown stronger and more caring by turning misfortune into an opportunity for positive growth. An inspirational and beneficial resource for those in pain, and a thought-provoking book for those whose problems loom large.. Hardcover with Dust-Jacket. more information
