    Saying what one thinks can be difficult; sometimes one knows that a thought is there, but it takes time and effort to find its proper articulation. This book is about articulatory self-knowledge, or the sort of knowledge about one's own mind that results from successful attempts to articulate evasive thoughts of this kind.
    Why should we strive to be important? Does it make our lives go better if we are especially significant? The Significance Impulse argues that the common impulse to seek exceptionally high levels of significance is misguided. Although many people strive to be extraordinarily significant, ultimately cosmic importance is out of reach for us. And though we do matter somewhat, it can be a liberating relief to take a more irreverent stance towards our lives and embrace our unimportance. This book is a testament to being ordinary.
    Renowned philosopher and former addict Owen Flanagan provides a powerful, far reaching examination of addiction. His is the first book to integrate the experience of addiction and the myriad social, cultural, psychological, and physiological factors that create it. Flanagan's holistic analysis also discusses the drawbacks of conventional theories of addiction and pressing questions relating to public policy, harm reduction, and recovery--offering a probing and empathetic view of what it is to be an addict.
