Berns argues the more complicated and challenging a life you pursue the more likely it is that you will be satisfied. Investigating the brain and its hunger for new experiences, Dr. Gregory Berns surveys the fields of neuroscience, economics, and evolutionary psychology to find answers to the fundamental question of how we can find a more satisfying way to think and live. Berns bridges the gap between everyday experience and cutting-edge research. He follows ultramarathoners across the Sierra Nevadas, enters a suburban S&M club to explore the deeper connection between pleasure and pain, partakes of a truly transporting meal, and ultimately examines his own marriage, where he faces the challenge of incorporating novelty into a long-term relationship.
