Beskrivning
Why is an artistic masterpiece worth millions more than a convincing forgery? Pleasure works in mysterious ways, as Paul Bloom reveals in this investigation of what we desire and why. Drawing on a wealth of surprising studies, Bloom investigates pleasures noble and seamy, lofty and mundane, to reveal that our enjoyment of a given thing is determined not by what we can see and touch but by our beliefs about that thing’s history, origin, and deeper nature.

Recensioner i media
"Bloom covers food, sex, and art at length and touches on much more in this accessible compendium of experiments, quotes, philosophical nuggets, and anecdotes. Sigmund Freud, Mr. Pleasure Principle himself, would have approved."
