I totally agree with you that the pain/pleasure associations we have are at the core of our motivation. I am in the process of writing an e-book to explain the concept of personal growth, and how we get our subjects muddled up at times. For example, our logical thinking should be used to process information. It isn't used to drive us in the direction we want to take. That's where emotions come in (and it's also why we *feel* hungry, and not just think hungry... otherwise we might end up starving to death without having the motivation to eat!). Dear Vlad,

Even though the model might be completely wrong on the biological level, it works extremely well on the psychological level, to understand why we behave the way we do. And that's what matters to me. @Robert:

I am going to do exactly what you suggested right now. It´s not about quitting to smoke, but a similiar thing. This article is really a great help, or at least I hope it will be one in the future. Just one thing: You were talking about the 3 human brains. Now, this way is good to understand how our brain makes decisions, but it has nothing to do with sience. As far as I know that theory has been around a long time ago and now has been proven wrong lately. I think it´s still working for your articles, the effect remains, but it just ins´t true. But thanks anyway, I really enjoyed reading your article (and don´t want to complain anymore ;P ) Robert Hey Vlad,
