The Compass of Pleasure pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.
David J. Linden is a professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University of Medicine. The author of more than ninety scientific papers, he also serves as the editor in chief of The Journal of Neurphysiology. His work has received awards from the Sloan, McKnight and Klingenstein Foundations as well as those of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Society for Neuroscience.
非常好,第二、第四章尤佳
評分The problem with neuroscience is that it seems to deny the existence of free will. When all behaviors are traced back to neurons and cells, it becomes hard to believe in concepts such as will and self determination.

評分3.5星吧。太多的內容都還是active research並沒有定論的,整本書可能聽npr介紹就足夠瞭。一句總結:樂趣和上癮都有大腦裏麵的根源,derive moderate pleasure from various sources.
兴奋剂、镇静剂、致幻剂、阿片剂、吸烟、暴饮暴食、赌博、电子游戏甚至运动都会让人成瘾,是因为这些都会激活大脑的愉悦回路,分泌多巴胺。人之所以愿意沉溺只不过是为了一而再再而三地得到愉悦的感觉。通常我们会认为一个人对某一项成瘾是因为个人意志薄弱、心理不健康。但事...
評分这本书的原名非常长,叫做:the compass of pleasure: how our brain make fatty foods, orgasm, exercise, marijuana, generosity, vodka, learning, and gambling feel so good. 我更喜欢原意:快乐的指南针。题目中的几个关键词概括了全书的内涵,即大脑、食物、赌博以及某...

評分弓不可能永远弯曲,如果没有合法的娱乐,人性或人性的弱点将难以生存。---《堂吉诃德》1605年 《愉悦回路》的作者林登教授是位很“神奇”的作者:原本从小立志成为海洋生物学家的他在大二面临海洋生物学和神经科学之间作出职业选择的时候,两相对比,无从选择,居然选择了辍学...
評分作者讲述了不少关于大脑内部与愉悦有关的科学研究成果,可能是本书打分不高的原因。在大脑功能上提醒我还有欲望这个变量,欲望的产生显然是有着坚实的生物进化基础的。宗教上所谓消除欲望的想法对大多数人而言是不现实的,也从另一方面揭示了减肥有多难。当人的体重明显减少的...
