Pursuit Of Pleasure Tiger, Lionel

Lionel Tiger, the anthropologist who coined "male bonding," turns his attention to why humans chase happiness — and why we're so bad at it. This isn't self-help fluff. Tiger digs into evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and social behavior to explain why our brains are wired for pleasure-seeking in a world that constantly thwarts it. He explores everything from why we overeat to why we fall in love to why we can't resist a good story. The writing is sharp and accessible, blending hard science with wry observations about modern life. If you've ever wondered why you bought something you didn't need or why that third slice of cake seemed like a good idea at the time, Tiger has answers. Perfect for readers who liked *The Happiness Hypothesis* or anyone curious about the gap between what we want and what actually makes us happy.
