How Pleasure Works

Readers of this blog will know that I'm a big fan of Paul Bloom's work, so it's exciting to see news of a new book from him. In How Pleasure Works, Bloom takes a look at how the science of essentialism can explain why we like what we like. Essentialism has become a hot topic in developmental psychology in the last few years, with Bloom himself at the forefront of the research. I'm going to have to wait a few more weeks for UK publication, but I'm looking forward to finding out more.

Here's the link back to Bloom's recent piece on the moral lives of babies, in case you missed it.
