i wanted to ask you about the possible link in the brain between pleasure and suffering or pain, a like in sato masicism. Is there something in there where there's a link between neral networks, or something where, you know, if you're on the edge some pleasure and the and some pain also triggers that and bumps it up? There's some or some nervou science work on the balance in pleasure and pain. It turns ut at a nural level, parts o te rain, associated pleasure and pain lagt up in response not according to the actual physical sensations you're getting, but to the physical sensations relative to the exectations.

We go to movies that make us cry, or scream, or gag. We poke at sores, eat spicy foods, immerse ourselves in hot baths, run marathons. Some of us even seek out pain and humiliation in sexual role-play. Why do we so often seek out physical pain and emotional turmoil? Where do these seemingly perverse appetites come from? In his latest book, The Sweet Spot: The Pleasures of Suffering and the Search for Meaning, Bloom aims to understand how people find meaning in their lives, and, moreover, to explore what he calls, “the sweet spot” — the proper balance between pleasure and suffering. As one of the world’s leading psychologists, drawing on groundbreaking findings from psychology and brain science, Bloom shows how the right kind of suffering sets the stage for enhanced pleasure.
