In 'The Compass of Pleasure,' David J. Linden explores the brain mechanisms that make us experience pleasure through various activities and substances. From food and sex to exercise and drugs, the author analyzes how our vices and virtues activate the brain's pleasure circuits. With a clear and engaging approach, Linden combines cutting-edge science with interesting anecdotes, offering a provocative view of the most basic impulses of our rational nature. This book is a chronicle of human desire, from Adam and Eve to the present day, and how the pursuit of pleasure can influence our lives and society.
