The Dangerous Edge: Psychology of Excitement
Michael J. Apter
Apter examines the reasons why people take part in dangerous activities, and explores the complex relationship between excitement, anxiety, panic and euphoria. He discusses the psychological mechanisms which court danger and argues that venting them in risky sports helps to keep society safe.
