Summary

"Opening with a revealing description of the brain's basic appetite for information, Satisfaction proposes a new way of understanding the roots of human motivation. While most of us assume that we more or less live by the "pleasure principle" (the more pleasure, the better), Berns describes how our brains actually crave just the kind of challenge and adversity that we tend to regard as satisfaction's opposite."
