The Compass of Pleasure pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
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.
David J. Linden is a professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University of Medicine. The author of more than ninety scientific papers, he also serves as the editor in chief of The Journal of Neurphysiology. His work has received awards from the Sloan, McKnight and Klingenstein Foundations as well as those of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Society for Neuroscience.
非常好,第二、第四章尤佳
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.
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。

评分趣味性强的科普书 脑科学辅以小八卦小故事 寓教于乐
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...
评分文 / 董小琳 熟悉小琳老师的朋友都知道:我不喝咖啡。 不是不爱喝,而是因为——喝过头了。 曾经有一阵,我对咖啡十分依赖。 到了休息时间,可还有一堆工作没完成。 脑子里想的不是白天浪费了多少时间刷论坛、聊QQ。而是:没事,反正有咖啡。于是,冲一杯咖啡,继续熬夜赶进度...
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...
