Topic: The Pleasure Seekers


In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  Guardian Unlimited | Life | The new pleasure seekers
Pleasure, says Stefano, is our brain's way of short-cutting the rational process by subconsciously and continuously ranking what is most important to us from the vast number of options we are faced with.
This flipping of pleasure into pain has been investigated using brain scans focusing on the OFC and have captured the fine line that is the difference between the two states.
While pleasure may have evolved as a way to encourage creatures to indulge in healthy behaviour and avoid more harmful pursuits, Stefano believes there is another benefit.

This is a new pleasure, a new land to be explored.

 Pleasure Seekers -- Part One: An Addictions to "Fun"
Whether it is the luxuries of the English Victorian age or the materialism of Rome during the third century, both immediately preceded the fall of those great empires.
While it is not wrong to go to dinner with family or friends, many go out for a meal or to have a few drinks as an excuse to get “dressed up” and appeal to their sense of vanity, seeking the attention of others.
Growing bored of the simple pleasures of life, they have begun to look for anything to give them greater pleasure and tantalize the senses.

 THE PLEASURE SEEKERS -- Part 2: A Desperate Need to Escape
We also identified one of the primary reasons why mankind seeks endless pleasures, why it desperately “needs” an avenue of escape—that is, the overall emptiness and lack of fulfillment in most people’s lives.
We saw how this is primarily the case among the people living in the most blessed nations today, how it has eroded the strength of their nations—their work ethic and family values—and how it is a clear sign of their decline.
The increased greed in society has not only removed most from the true pleasures of life—such as time with family, preparing and enjoying good food, or experiencing God’s beautiful creation—it has also created a need to have more—to never be satisfied.

 Evolutionary Economics - The pleasure seekers
The results also suggested that these so-called "pleasure seekers" were unlikely to take much pride in their work, would lack commitment and would have little hesitation about going to work elsewhere if the pay were better.
"Pleasure seekers" were not the only expanding category.
People tend to shift between groups at different stages of their life." A former "pleasure seeker" with a mortgage and school fees to pay could turn into a "live to work" type until financial commitments have been met, at which point they may opt for greater work/life balance.

 New Scientist Premium- The pleasure seekers - Features
Neuroscientists are completely rethinking how our brains give us pleasure, and as a result are starting to believe that the quest for pleasure may underpin every decision we make.
Psychiatrist Robert Heath of Tulane University in New Orleans hoped to cure his patients' depression, intractable pain, schizophrenia, suicidal feelings, addiction, and even homosexuality - which in those days was considered a psychiatric disorder - by drowning them out with pleasure, induced by an electrode implanted deep in their brains.
Heath's experiments were based on findings from a decade earlier that administering a mild electric shock to the equivalent brain area in rats - the "reward centre" - would send the animals into a state that looked like ecstasy.

 LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Album Reviews - Shellycoats: Pleasure Seekers Anonymous
The Shellycoats have that standard Alternative Pop-Rock sound that has efficiently inundated the mainstream since the mid-1990’s; however they seem to be fully aware that their chance of commercial success is about as likely as Candlebox making a noteworthy comeback.
That being said, Pleasure Seekers Anonymous is a record for those who regard Reality Bites and Empire Records as the two greatest movie soundtracks ever made.
Every song on the record offers up ample amounts of heartrending lyrics about how it really was great with "me and you." If you tire of that self-conscious style, then this effort falls upon deaf ears.

 Pleasure, February 11, 2004
I like the album because I like things that give me pleasure and make me happy.
That puts me out of step with most of today's critical reviews of the album, which are negative on the grounds that too many people bought Jones' first album and that she's too popular, and that if too many people like something it can't be any good.
Art can't be for the masses; it has to be for the elite, who like things that most people can't stand.

 VH1.com : Movies : Movie : The Pleasure Seekers : Review
Three Coins in the Fountain was not a movie that cried out to be remade, so perhaps it was inevitable that The Pleasure Seekers would not exactly be a great work of art.
The men do not fare quite as well as the women (which is typical in this sub-genre of movie), but Brian Keith has some good moments, and Anthony Franciosa's only real problem is his accent.
Totally inconsequential, Pleasure Seekers still brings forth its share of smiles.

Their sound is a notable one amongst the Pop/R&B stylings that came out of the 1980's.
I recall hearing their debut album breakthrough single "You Are in My System" when it received radio play after its release in the early 1980's.

 The Pleasure Seekers
Melanie George's The Pleasure Seekers is a throwback to the good old days of ridiculously oversexed and jerkish heroes and heroines whose chests really heave and whose bodice rips way too easily.
Then again, if Melanie George is a better writer, her name will be Virginia Henley.
While in no way even halfway good, The Pleasure Seekers is nonetheless one of those ridiculously silly books best enjoyed when one is in the mood to just chuckle and laugh at the absurdities of a very campy book.
