The first comprehensive philosophical introduction and assessment to the problem of self-control, an increasingly popular topic in philosophy
Self-control is one of the most fascinating problems in philosophy, studied in core subjects such as free will and ethics, yet there is no book available explaining in clear language what it is
Plenty of examples from psychology and philosophy including self-deception in mental disorder, addiction and everyday examples such as loss of willpower and even mind-wandering
Includes helpful additional features such as chapter summaries, annotated further reading and glossary
Very strong author team led by Neil Levy, well-known for his work on addiction, consciousness and free will.
