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.
1111我真的是一种病。我的手机号码都是一样一样滴滴我也是醉了。我们都在一起了。我的确很爱很简单。我的人生是有很多人和人和你在一起了。我们都在这里了。我的人生是我问问自己为什么会这么做了什么时候回家呢。我们都在这里等着我了。你在干嘛的呀!你的孩子也不在一起就好...
评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...
评分有没有想过,吃货们对美食的眷恋与宅男对电子游戏的着迷并没有本质上的区别,藏书爱好者,狂刷微博的年轻人,与那些药物成瘾患者其实也都差不多。因为,这一切都与我们脑中的“愉悦回路”有关。 有这样一个实验早已广为人知:大鼠为了获得电极刺激所带来的兴奋感,可以废寝忘食...
评分坦白讲,我没有看懂这本所谓的科普书在讲些什么,一如读不懂休谟的《人性论》或康德的《纯粹理性批判》,所以读后最大的感受,反而在书外,那就是丫的湛庐文化太会营销了,封面上宣传的“我们为什么会感到快乐?为什么戒酒、戒毒、戒赌这么难?为什么有些人抵抗不了性的诱惑?...
评分通过阅读能够了解,很多能让我们感到快乐的事情是如何在大脑中经过复杂的化学作用最终输出快乐的。而且每一个愉悦回路都是不断自我更新的系统,这个原理建立在大脑本就是用进废退的器官的基础之上,所以,让我们快乐的事情越来越少,因为以往能让我们快乐的事情在周而复始之后...
basically a book-length literature review. still fun to read
评分没看完……作者开头说好的少用专业名词尽量通俗易懂呢?VTA LTP LTD LSD都是些什么鬼?废话好多故事没完没了。总之就是别碰毒品,你的意志力战胜不了大脑。
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.
