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.

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...
评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...
评分愉悦回路最初来自于生理本能的发展,随着智慧和社会的出现,各种社会性活动通过复杂的交流和故事建立了关联和预期,因此也开始能激活愉悦回路。 从这个意义上看,人类具备赋予某种事件意义并激发愉悦回路的能力,只要打通与本能满足的关联。甚至超过本能。 人是追求愉悦的动物...
评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...
