THE SWEET SPOT: The Pleasures of Suffering and the Search for Meaning
It seems obvious that pleasure leads to happiness - and pain does the opposite. But is this true? Why are we irresistibly drawn to a host of experiences that truly hurt, from the exhilarating fear of horror movies or extreme sport to the wrenching sadness of a song or novel to the gruelling challenges of exercise, work, creativity and having a family?
We seek to have a good time, to enjoy ourselves, to be happy but could there be more that motivates us? Could suffering and pain play a role in our pleasure?
A good life involves more than just pleasure. Suffering is essential too. Could there be pleasures in suffering? Could the activities that provide the most satisfaction be the ones that involve the greatest sacrifice. Let's delve into the unexpected insight into the human condition.
In his book The Sweet Spot: The Pleasures of Suffering and the Search for Meaning, Paul Bloom makes a captivating case that pain and suffering are essential to happiness. suffering is an essential source of both pleasure and meaning in our lives
