A probing look at what lies beneath our surprising inclination to seize defeat from the jaws of victory. From Ivan Boesky to Gary Hart, the world is full of people who have had it all and have blown it. Now two psychologists reveal what forces fuel self-destructive urges, how people become vulnerable to them and how to minimize their ill-effects.
