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.

我们被谁控制?《愉悦回路》 这是一本讲述大脑工作的科普书,说是科普,里面的术语挺多的。无论是动物还是人类都渴望快乐,这是人类的本性,一旦获得了快乐,那么就想要长久的保持下去,这就是成瘾。 能够让人类成瘾的很多,比如酗酒,吸毒,比如电子游戏,比如老饕,...
评分by/渔歌 中世纪的西方世界强调禁欲,人们生活在宗教的压制之下。相比之下,处在东方的中国,自南宋以后,也逐渐对欲望尤其是性欲战战兢兢。到了清代,封建社会的伦理纲常更是进一步的强调修身节制。 与之相反,古希腊的众神从未停止过对欲望的追求和满足。以至于赫拉难免防着...
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 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...
