Скачать или смотреть The Pleasure Principle: The ONE Thing That Drives EVERYTHING

In this insightful video, we delve into a popular concept among theologians and philosophers: that all human behavior is driven by the desire to avoid pain and seek pleasure or happiness. Using a continuum with pleasure at the top and pain at the bottom, we explore this driving force behind every human action. We discuss insights from behavior science and theology, look at historical and biblical perspectives, and understand how this principle influences addictive behaviors. We also examine the transformative power of faith, the importance of surrender, and the pursuit of greater, eternal pleasures through a relationship with a higher power.
