Description
Why do we slow down to look at car accidents? Why would rich people shoplift? What draws people to parachuting, hooliganism or sadistic sex? These are just some of the questions and conundrums Michael J. Apter investigates in a fascinating study of our paradoxical appetite for danger and risk-taking. Danger: Our Quest for Excitement explains how even in dangerous situations (often because of them) anxiety can become excitement and fear can become exhilaration - transforming the horrifying into the heavenly.
