The modern man knows firsthand about obsessive states. How often we literally can't stop, feverishly checking messages in a smartphone, trying to pass the level in a video game or buying things, even though there's nowhere to go. But where is the line between norm and pathology, and most importantly, when purposefulness and obsession are the way to creativity and success, and when is a fruitless and dangerous waste of effort and time? In the book, the author talks about the history of studying the question, how obsessive behavior differs from addiction and how the "compulsive brain" works. The urgency of the problem, conversations with leading experts on obsessive behavior, the fate of real patients make this book equally informative and fascinating.
