Almost everybody has an obsession or feels a compulsion to do
something a certain way. Magic numbers, intrusive thoughts, unusual
fears and superstitions happen to about four people out of five,
but where do these obsessive-compulsive (OC) traits come from? This
book explores what they are, why we have them and what we can do
about them, through fascinating and highly original insights. Are
you a perfectionist, or can you be fussy? Do you like to have
control in certain situations? Or are you overly anxious in others?
These are all OC traits, and this book looks at their recent
increase in human behaviour, and how they are formed in the brain.
Showing that these traits are more common in highly educated,
intelligent and successful people, it highlights the positive sides
of what have previously been seen as negative quirks. Weaving
together sections that are anecdotal and humorous, with technical
and up-to-date scientific information, this groundbreaking book
gives a fascinating introduction into an under-discussed
personality type.
