Pay attention class! This is science writing not an over-simplified self-help book. Linden does a great job of making the brain's pleasure circuitry understandable and provides some hard science background about the balance between pleasure and addiction.
This little gem of a book follows the months and seasons w/ exquisite poetry. The compilation of poems comes from such poetys as Longfellow and Rosetti, to less known poets (at least to me)such as, Carmen and 'anonymous'. The book is small enough to carry it around if ever you're bored in a doctor's office or waiting in line and want to be refreshed. Poetry to me has always been short insights of whimsy and wisdom. This book doesn't fall short of any of that.
