Publisher's NoteWhat's bad for us, and who decides? Portman's thoughtful and entertaining work asks and answers, looking to "those before us who fell back to earth" to provide insights into why humans are so often their own worst enemies. Portman (religious studies, U. of Virginia and also the author of When Bad Things Happen to Other People ) makes use of ideas from Kant to Seinfeld to inquire into why we have self-control, and why we sometimes throw it away.
