In the summer of Molly's fifteenth year, a speedboat landed on her head. She suffered a horrendously severe brain injury and experienced a miraculous and unprecedented survival. She woke up to the realization that she had to relearn everything, and she had the next three tenuous, painful years to figure out how far she would recover. That was high school. During those three years, she would have given anything to talk to someone who had undergone a similar recovery and who had come out the other side. This book is the story that she wanted to read. This is how it feels to recover.

"This comprehensive exploration of Thomas Aquinas's theology of habit takes habits in general as a prism for understanding human action and its influences and provides a unique synthesis of Thomistic virtue theory, modern science of habits, and best practices for eliminating bad habits and living good habits"--

Never one to lose an opportunity to promote behaviorism, Skinner expounded its main tenets to the distinguished philosopher. Whitehead acknowledged that science might account for most of human behavior but he would not include verbal behavior. He ended the discussion with a challenge: "Let me see you," he said, "account for my behavior as I sit here saying, 'No black scorpion is falling upon this table.'" The next morning Skinner began this book. It took him over twenty years to complete. This book extends the laboratory-based principles of selection by consequences to account...
