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.
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...

评分难得看一回纯科普读本。没有一般非虚构类的那种所谓结论。就是分析讲解一些科学实验和事实。而且难得的是翻译得还相当通俗易懂,可读性非常好。 做完笔记发现自己并没有把成瘾这件事的原因记录下来.... 凭印象,主要是多巴胺的回路,在某个大脑纹路产生电流快感,让你不间断的...
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.
评分最有意思的教材
评分basically a book-length literature review. still fun to read
评分非常好,第二、第四章尤佳
