Produktbeschreibung

Exercise addiction is often overlooked as a disorder because sufferers are seemingly engaged in a healthy behavior. But an obsession with working out insidiously interferes with emotional stability, social functioning, productivity at work--and it comes with serious physical health consequences. This book takes on exercise addiction from its symptoms to its treatment, including narratives from sufferers throughout.
