A leading brain scientist's look at the neurobiology of pleasure-and how pleasures can become addictions.

Whether eating, taking drugs, engaging in sex, or doing good deeds, the pursuit of pleasure is a central drive of the human animal. In The Compass of Pleasure Johns Hopkins neuroscientist David J. Linden explains how pleasure affects us at the most fundamental level: in our brain.

As he did in his award-winning book, The Accidental Mind, Linden combines cutting-edge science with entertaining anecdotes to illuminate the source of the behaviors that can lead us to ecstasy but that can easily become compulsive. Why are drugs like nicotine and heroin addictive while LSD is not? Why has the search for safe appetite suppressants been such a disappointment? The Compass of Pleasure concludes with a provocative consideration of pleasure in the future, when it may be possible to activate our pleasure circuits at will and in entirely novel patterns.

非常好,第二、第四章尤佳

评分

对药品、性、食物、慈善等各种可令人上瘾的事务进行了神经层面的解释,值得一看

评分

3.5星吧。太多的内容都还是active research并没有定论的,整本书可能听npr介绍就足够了。一句总结:乐趣和上瘾都有大脑里面的根源,derive moderate pleasure from various sources.
