The pursuit of pleasure is a central drive of the human animal. Now, award-winning neuro-scientist David J. Linden explains how recent research has enabled us to decipher how and when pleasure takes control of the brain--and won't let go.

This eminently enjoyable and provocative book delves beyond what we like into why we can't stop ourselves from liking it--even when we think we can.
