Book Description

Humans always seek pleasure, humans venerate pleasure, but are humans sentient, or feelers by nature, the way science depicts them? Because if humans are defined as feelers, and if they are expected to behave as feelers, then this remains their meaning in life and in the world, always to feel good, to feel everything, and to live life feeling the best, even addicted. Yet as you notice, humans excel at reasoning the most, and not mainly at feeling, which describes more the animal kingdom. Pleasure is very good, and it is better than pain, yet there is a difference between feeling and reasoning. Because reasoning is more about mastering life and the world, while feeling is about celebrating these. Yet even this statement is insufficient, because feelings are not even abilities within your cognitive system, but feelings are only meant to signal needs and their fulfillment, rewarding or punishing you depending on circumstances. While reasoning is your main cognitive ability, and you should treasure it accordingly. This lack of understanding makes a difference, because if you happen to live your life valuing feelings, including your good feelings, more than your actual human abilities, including all your cognitive abilities, then feelings, and pleasure in special, remain your focus and meaning in life. And with the multitude of artificial sources of pleasure that society offers, good luck to you, because it is only a matter of time before you too become addicted. Since as we notice throughout the book, becoming addicted is not only an error of judgment that you make while trying to feel good in life as everyone else, it is not only a social constraint subduing you as everyone else, but addiction is integral part of the normal natural process of your cognitive system, and it is even used by your subconscious intelligence in various circumstances, in order to render you always eager to fulfill specific highly important activities in life, as it is the case with your natural need for reproduction. You have to comprehend society as it is, because once you are addicted, you become weak, predictable, and controllable, and this is how others take over your living and social niche, to exploit you. While you end up struggling with family problems, finance problems, and health problems, ever after. Would you like to be able to manage your life, your thinking, and your behavior? Then you have to be able to manage your feelings first. And you may do so not forcefully and not directly, since you are not a mechanism, but you can manage your feelings only by learning everything about your feelings, needs, development, addictions, intelligences, reasoning, behavior, society, Life, the world, and your meaning and place in Life and in the world. This book creates an entire model of the human addictions, which is still easy to read, teaching you everything about drugs and how they work, about pleasure and how it controls you, and about the world and how it interacts with you before and during addictions. If you want to learn more about addictions, consequences, and withdrawal, this book is for you.
