my book #2

          The book i choose is The Compass of Pleasure, which talks about how the brain works when you are doing something pleasurable. I am very happy with the book i have chosen, i am really enjoying reading my book. I find it very interesting and educational about why people do what they do, and why people become addicted to drugs and other such things. This book dives deep into the inner workings of an addicts brain and how they become addicted and how hard it is to stop, it doesn't just talk about being addicted to drugs but food, sex, and exercise. I am almost done with my book i have about twenty or pages left to read. This author has done an amazing job writing this book and putting it in terms everyone can understand. He has really intrigued me to want to learn more about the brain and how it works. I find it fascinating to learn about why people like the stuff that they like on the deepest scientific level that there is, and why and how some people become addicted to certain things, and why it is so hard for addicts to quit their addiction. To learn about why and how things make you happy, i think gives you a better shot at being happy throughout your life, because you know things that you can do to make yourself happier. I think everyone should read this book because i think it gives the reader a different perspective on life and it helps you to better understand as a person and why you do the things you do.
