なぜ復讐は甘い味がするのか？脳が仕込んだ「矛盾」の正体

The brain processes "revenge" using the same neural pathways as chocolate. But when you taste it, it's bitter. In 2004, a Swiss research team used brain scans to find that the reward region of the brain fired at the moment of punishing a traitor. However, another study showed that people who actually sought revenge felt worse than those who didn't. Why does something the brain predicts to be "sweet" taste bitter? Why has evolution allowed this "lie" to persist for 100,000 years? Based on 15 papers from neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, developmental psychology, and cultural psychology, this book thoroughly dissects the true nature of the "sweetness of revenge." ---------------------------- ▼Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 01:25 - Chapter 1: The Brain Releases Dopamine Through Revenge 04:01 - Chapter 2: The Person Who Seeks Revenge Becomes More Unhappy 06:45 - Chapter 3: It Was a "Necessary Lie" 09:09 - Chapter 4: A 6-Year-Old Child Punishes Injustice 13:17 - Chapter 5: Hatred Destroys the Body, Forgiveness Heals the Body ---------------------------- ▼References [1] de Quervain, D.
