Description: |
Yale psychologist Bloom presents a striking and thought-provoking new understanding of pleasure, desire, and value. |
Synopsis: |
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." |
