From the author of Against Empathy comes a different kind of happiness book, one that shows us how suffering is an essential source of both pleasure and meaning in our lives
Why do we so often seek out physical pain and emotional turmoil? We go to movies that make us cry, or scream, or gag. We poke at sores, eat spicy foods, immerse ourselves in hot baths, run marathons. Some of us even seek out pain and humiliation in sexual role-play. Where do these seemingly perverse appetites come from?
Drawing on groundbreaking findings from psychology and brain science, The Sweet Spot shows how the right kind of suffering sets the stage for enhanced pleasure. Pain can distract us from our anxieties and help us transcend the self. Choosing to suffer can serve social goals; it can display how tough we are or, conversely, can function as a cry for help. Feelings of fear and sadness are part of the pleasure of immersing ourselves in play and fantasy and can provide certain moral satisfactions. And effort, struggle, and difficulty can, in the right contexts, lead to the joys of mastery and flow.
But suffering plays a deeper role as well. We are not natural hedonists--a good life involves more than pleasure. People seek lives of meaning and significance; we aspire to rich relationships and satisfying pursuits, and this requires some amount of struggle, anxiety, and loss. Brilliantly argued, witty, and humane, Paul Bloom shows how a life without chosen suffering would be empty--and worse than that, boring.

Описание: Paul meets Virginie and Morenita by chance encounter in a Geneva street, pursued by an apparently drugged man. The girls claim that the man is acting odd and that they are scared. Not noted for his bravery, Paul threatens to call the police. Despite his warnings and a distant siren, the Greek man shows his passport and only leaves when the police arrive. With the stranger gone, the gallant escorts his refugees to safety. In doing so he innocently sets off a romance, a liaison over which he quickly finds out that he has limited control. Virginie proves no ordinary passer-by. She carries a burden that has its source in a surreal world, one where Catholic and Protestant battled and magic mixed. The seemingly chance encounter pushes Paul along a path of change from which he will not return.
After arriving home from a tour of combat duty in the traumatic, tangled jungles of Vietnam, returning to a pre-war status as a civilian seemed unattainable, hopeless.
Finally, about the time all hope in living had disappeared... a long-forgotten box was brought down from the attic.
What I discovered inside the box brought shining rays of light into my dark soul. My journey of healing and transformation started that day because I had entrusted the box some twenty years earlier to "other hands" in the midst of unspeakable, unimaginable violence.
While reading The Healing Box, you'll discover some of the many extraordinary and supernatural ways God communicates with anyone who is willing to listen...are you one of them?

New York Post Best Book of 2016
We often think of our capacity to experience the suffering of others as the ultimate source of goodness. Many of our wisest policy-makers, activists, scientists, and philosophers agree that the only problem with empathy is that we dont have enough of it.
Nothing could be farther from the truth, argues Yale researcher Paul Bloom. In AGAINST EMPATHY, Bloom reveals empathy to be one of the leading motivators of inequality and immorality in society.
Far from helping us to improve the lives of others, empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that appeals to our narrow prejudices. It muddles our judgment and, ironically, often leads to cruelty. We are at our best when we are smart enough not to rely on it, but to draw instead upon a more distanced compassion.
Basing his argument on groundbreaking scientific findings, Bloom makes the case that some of the worst decisions made by individuals and nationswho to give money to, when to go to war, how to respond to climate change, and who to imprisonare too often motivated by honest, yet misplaced, emotions. With precision and wit, he demonstrates how empathy distorts our judgment in every aspect of our lives, from philanthropy and charity to the justice system; from medical care and education to parenting and marriage. Without empathy, Bloom insists, our decisions would be clearer, fairer, andyesultimately more moral.
Brilliantly argued, urgent and humane, AGAINST EMPATHY shows us that, when it comes to both major policy decisions and the choices we make in our everyday lives, limiting our impulse toward empathy is often the most compassionate choice we can make.
