Pleasure: How Our Brains Make Junk Food, Exercise, Marijuana, Generosity, and Gambling Feel So Good - Softcover
Award-winning neuroscientist David J. Linden explains how new research has deciphered how and when pleasure takes control of the brain - and when it won't let go. He illuminates how behaviours that lead us to ecstasy can just as easily become compulsive: why are nicotine and heroin addictive while LSD is not? why has the search for safe appetite suppressants failed? This eminently enjoyable and provocative book delves beyond what we like into why we can't stop ourselves from liking it - even when we think we can.

'Optimistic... Linden provides a fresh perspective.' --Kirkus Reviews
'Fascinating... Linden is a proficient guide. He even concludes with an educated prediction of a future that promises round-the-clock, unbridled access to -theoretically, at least -- guilt-free pleasure through a specially wired cap.' --Booklist
'Linden has the scientific explanations for what's happening between your gut and your brain in why-am-I-hungry-for-a-fourth-macaroon moments.' --Vogue
