In aah . . . The Pleasure Book, Jia Gottlieb, MD, sets out to redefine and reclaim the wisdom of pleasure as a natural resource as essential to our health and well-being as fresh air and clean water, and moreover, the key to a fulfilling and meaningful life. Interweaving his own life experiences and work as a healer with insights from history, religion, philosophy, neuroscience, and mysticism, Dr. Gottlieb offers a deep and clear understanding of pleasure—what it is, what it isn’t, and why we need it. But the author aims to do much more than change the way we think about pleasure. Dr. Gottlieb provides an accessible, encouraging guide to incorporate the art and practice of pleasure into our relationships, work, play, and everyday habits.
