Ruth A. reviewed How Pleasure Works: The New Science of Why We Like What We Like on + 43 more book reviews
Paul Bloom is a Yale University professor of psychology who studies child development. In this book he explores how fantasy and mental and emotional perception affect human sensory experience. He explores how ideas of authenticity and the ability to pretend and engage with worlds we know to be pretend affect pleasure. I wasn't persuaded by every argument but there's a lot to learn and enjoy here.
