"This ground-breaking book introduces a new model of extremism that emphasizes motivational
imbalance among individual needs, offering a unique multidisciplinary exploration
of extreme behaviors relating to terrorism, dieting, sports, love, addictions, and
money. In popular discourse, the term 'extremism' has come to mean largely 'violent
extremism', but this is just one of many different types: extreme sports, extreme
diets, political and religious extremisms, extreme self-interest, extreme attitudes,
extreme devotion to a cause, addiction to substances, or behavioral addiction (to
videogames, shopping, pornography, sex, work). But do these descriptions have a deeper
meaning? Do they reveal a common psychological dynamic? Or are they merely a mode
of things about phenomena that have little in common? Bringing together world-leading
psychologists from a variety of disciplines, the book uses a brand-new model to examine
different expressions of extremism, at different levels of analysis (brain, hormones,
behavior), in order to not merely to describe such behaviors but also to explain their
occurrence, and the conditions under which they may be likely to emerge. Also including
suggestions for ways in which extremism could be counteracted, and to what extent
it appears to be harmful to individuals and society, this is essential reading for
students and academics in psychology and behavioral sciences"
