Story3.5 out of 5 stars 273
Yale psychologist Paul Bloom presents a striking new vision of the pleasures of everyday life. The thought of sex with a virgin is intensely arousing for many men. The average American spends over four hours a day watching television. Abstract art can sell for millions of dollars. Young children enjoy playing with imaginary friends and can be comforted by security blankets. People slow their cars to look at gory accidents, and go to movies that make them cry.

I really liked this book! Well written ideas, quality narrator, interesting concepts, and overall thought provoking. I recommend this to anyone and everyone, even if you aren't as interested in the topic as I am it's a short enough audio-book to cover quickly.
