Steve Martin - The Pleasure Of My Company Daniel Pecan Cambridge, 30, 35, 38 or 27, depending on how he feels that day, is a young man whose life is rich and full, provided he never leaves his Santa Monica apartment. After all, outside there are 8-inch-high curbs and there's always the horrible chance he might see a gas station attendant wearing a blue hat. So, except for the occasional trip to the Rite Aid to admire the California girl Zandy and to buy earplugs because they're on sale, he stays home a lot.
Many people believe that pleasure and desire are obstacles to reasonable and intelligent behavior. In The Pleasure Center, Kringelbach reveals that what we desire, what pleases us - in fact, our most base, animalistic tendencies - are actually very important sources of information.
They motivate us for a good reason. And understanding that reason, taking that reason into account, and harnessing and directing that reason, can make us much more rational and effective people.
To be able to see and enjoy what you are seeing is much to be gratful for. But even more, being able to reproduce and convey to others, by drawing, what you see or imagine provides greater satisfaction. As in all my books, my purpose and pleasure are to show others, like yourself, a way to construct drawings.
