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." "Satisfaction offers more than a new understanding of how to seek and achieve the emotion most integral to our lives - it also encourages us to begin to think differently about where we find satisfaction and what motivates us to seek it in the first place."--BOOK JACKET.
