Book & AudioBookThe Pleasure Zone


Good feelings of all kinds promote personal growth, happy relationships, and living life to the fullest. Pleasure is good for us. Yet most of us have learned to hold ourselves back from feeling as good as we can.

This book identifies the Eight Core Pleasures - eight essential ways we need to enjoy life to feel fulfilled. These are:

Primal Pleasure: Letting Go and "Just Being"
Pain Relief: Releasing and Resolving Old Hurts
Elemental Pleasures: Play, Humor, Movement and Sound
Mental Pleasures: Curiosity, Learning, Positive Thinking
Emotional Pleasures: Gratitude, Love, Courage, Enthusiasm
Sensual Pleasures: Taking Delight in the Senses
Sexual Pleasures: Arousal, Desire, Romance, Abandon
Spiritual Pleasures: Feeling A Part of Something Good

THE PLEASURE ZONE shows how you may be resisting one or all of these pleasures, how pleasure-resistance can affect health and happiness, and how to use breath and body awareness exercises to give up old habits and chronic tensions and more fully embrace all of life’s joys.

The Pleasure Zone is available in Spanish: Reencontrar el Placer (Urano) from amazon.com

Also available in Portuguese: A Descoberta Do Prazer (Cultrix) and German: Jeder Mensch Kann Freude Lernen (Mosaik)

The Pleasure Zone Audio Book (read by the author) is available at amazon.com

Pleasure-resistance is not just a limiting mental attitude but also a way of setting limits on how good you allow yourself to feel in your body.  It’s not just about sex but about resisting expansiveness in all aspects of life.
Stella Resnick

Think of the Pleasure Zone not as a place but a process. It’s an active way of focusing your attention that centers you in the present moment, releases enormous stores of vitality and optimism, and makes whatever you’re doing considerably more enjoyable.
