Pleasure is the visceral, body-felt experience of well-being — it's the embodiment of happiness. With pleasure as our guide, our actions can be informed by what feels right deep down inside — especially in our heart and in that mid-section we call the gut. These areas are our body-based, positively-no-denying-it truth detectors. When we feel something here, no matter that our heads are telling us something different, we know our body holds the truth.
