This book examines a seemingly simple and absolutely essential topic: learning how to enjoy every aspect of your life on a daily basis.
All of us look for happiness, well-being, and positivity throughout our lives, but for most people these goals are abstract and the processes established to achieve them ambiguous. The Seven Sources of Pleasure in Life: Making Way for the Upside in the Midst of Modern Demands focuses attention upon the concrete, specific, and everyday sources of pleasure that are within the grasp of almost everyone.
Prolific author Luciano L'Abate, PhD, ABEPP, examines at all kinds of pleasures, investigating where we find them, why they appeal to us, and what benefits they provide in terms of both mental and physical health. He explains how to increase our sensitivity to everyday opportunities for pleasure, and then gives tangible techniques to focus upon these moments in order to fully experience them. The author employs personal memories from his childhood in Italy, more recent stories from his travels abroad, and the findings of most recent scientific research on the benefits of pleasure-seeking to further illustrate his points.
Luciano L'Abate, PhD, ABEPP, is professor emeritus of psychology at Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA. Author or coauthor of more than 300 papers, chapters, and book reviews in professional and scientific journals, L'Abate is also author, coauthor, editor, or coeditor of over 50 books.
