Quitting is a vital and pervasive phenomenon that shapes our lives. The Good Quit is an enlightening and provocative challenge to the common perceptions around the choice to quit. Rather than offering simplistic how-to advice, scientist-turned-philosopher Jeffrey A. Lockwood makes full use of biological, psychological, and social sciences to unpack what constitutes quitting for the right reasons, at the right time, and in the right way, using both fundamental principles and concrete examples.

The human reaction to insects is neither purely biological nor simply cultural. And no one reacts to insects with indifference. Insects frighten, disgust, and fascinate us. Jeff Lockwood explores this phenomenon through evolutionary science, human history, and contemporary psychology, as well as a debilitating bout with entomophobia in his work as an entomologist. Exploring the nature of anxiety and phobia, Lockwood explores the lively debate about how much of our fear of insects can be attributed to ancestral predisposition for our own survival and how much is learned through individual experiences.
