The compass of pleasure

I could have written a book exploring the circuits of pleasure in the brain without anything about molecules, nor even anything about body anatomy, but this kind of teaching would involve ignoring some important and exciting issues, and this teaching is what you will not find in this book. I will do my best to make this topic lively and enjoyable if you accompany me on this journey, and to challenge your mind a little to learn some basics in neuroscience and explore the cellular and molecular foundations of human pleasure, transcendental experiences, and addiction.
