What might lead a schoolgirl to eat a wall of her house, piece by piece, or a man to die beneath an avalanche of household junk that he and his brother have compulsively hoarded? At what point does a harmless idea, a snowflake in a clear summer sky, become a blinding blizzard of unwanted thoughts?
David Adam an editor at "Nature "and an accomplished science writer has suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder for twenty years, and "The Man Who Couldn t Stop" is his unflinchingly honest attempt to understand the condition and his experiences. In this riveting and intimate blend of science, history, and memoir, Adam explores the weird thoughts that exist within every mind and explains how they drive millions of us toward obsession and compulsion. Told with fierce clarity, humor, and urgent lyricism, "The Man Who Couldn t Stop" is a haunting story of a personal nightmare that shines a light into the darkest corners of our minds."
