In Pleasure: A Creative Approach to Life, Alexander Lowen shows how theexperience of pleasure or pain determines our emotions, thinking, andbehavior. Examining the psychology and the biology of pleasure, he exploresits roots in the nature of the body and shows that emotional health meansthat we are in a state of pleasure – that is, we feel good in our bodies.Lowen describes pleasure as the creative force in life and as the only forcestrong enough to oppose the potential destructiveness of power. In mostadults, the struggle for power competes with the striving for pleasure, causingchronic muscular tensions, and undermining creativity.
