Book Reviews > The Pleasure Instinct
Why We Crave Adventure, Chocolate, Pheromones, and Music
By Gene Wallenstein
 This
title offers an immensely fascinating look at the origins and evolutionary
purpose of human pleasure. From our enjoyment of music to our cravings for
chocolate, from our love for children and family to our attraction to things of
beauty, this book embarks on an intriguing and accessible exploration of the
purpose of pleasure in our lives and in human history. How did pleasure evolve
and why? How does it develop in children? How does the pursuit of pleasure play
a critical role in brain development? "The Pleasure Instinct" explores
everything we need to know about our urge to feel good. Gene Wallenstein, PhD
(Providence, RI), is an internationally recognized neuroscientist and expert on
the biology of emotions. A Harvard-educated pioneer in the emerging field of
cognitive neurobiology, he is the director of the Cognitive Neurobiology
Institute, a private consulting firm that partners scientists and policymakers
in mental health advocacy.
