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.

有沒有想過,吃貨們對美食的眷戀與宅男對電子遊戲的著迷並沒有本質上的區彆,藏書愛好者,狂刷微博的年輕人,與那些藥物成癮患者其實也都差不多。因為,這一切都與我們腦中的“愉悅迴路”有關。 有這樣一個實驗早已廣為人知:大鼠為瞭獲得電極刺激所帶來的興奮感,可以廢寢忘食...
評分愉悅迴路最初來自於生理本能的發展,隨著智慧和社會的齣現,各種社會性活動通過復雜的交流和故事建立瞭關聯和預期,因此也開始能激活愉悅迴路。 從這個意義上看,人類具備賦予某種事件意義並激發愉悅迴路的能力,隻要打通與本能滿足的關聯。甚至超過本能。 人是追求愉悅的動物...
評分1111我真的是一種病。我的手機號碼都是一樣一樣滴滴我也是醉瞭。我們都在一起瞭。我的確很愛很簡單。我的人生是有很多人和人和你在一起瞭。我們都在這裏瞭。我的人生是我問問自己為什麼會這麼做瞭什麼時候迴傢呢。我們都在這裏等著我瞭。你在乾嘛的呀!你的孩子也不在一起就好...
評分坦白講,我沒有看懂這本所謂的科普書在講些什麼,一如讀不懂休謨的《人性論》或康德的《純粹理性批判》,所以讀後最大的感受,反而在書外,那就是丫的湛廬文化太會營銷瞭,封麵上宣傳的“我們為什麼會感到快樂?為什麼戒酒、戒毒、戒賭這麼難?為什麼有些人抵抗不瞭性的誘惑?...

沒看完……作者開頭說好的少用專業名詞盡量通俗易懂呢?VTA LTP LTD LSD都是些什麼鬼?廢話好多故事沒完沒瞭。總之就是彆碰毒品,你的意誌力戰勝不瞭大腦。
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.
