Why Do We Like What We Like?
We all have our favorite things—foods, music, movies, activities—but why do we like them? What is it about certain experiences that make them so pleasurable? Bloom argues that pleasure is not simply a matter of personal preference. Rather, it is a complex process that involves our brains, our bodies, and our social interactions.
The Science of Pleasure
Bloom explores the latest research on pleasure, from studies of the brain's reward system to experiments on the effects of drugs and alcohol. He shows how our brains are wired to seek out pleasure and how our experiences of pleasure are shaped by our culture, our environment, and our relationships.

Pleasure is not just a fleeting sensation. It is a powerful force that can shape our lives for better or for worse. Bloom argues that understanding the science of pleasure can help us make better choices about our lives and create more fulfilling experiences.
