Reviews'The Pleasure of Thinking by Tania Zittoun is a wonderfully evocative book that performs its own message. It gave me great pleasure as a reader and provided much to think about, ranging from psychoanalysis to cultural psychology, from case studies to theoretical reflections on the nature of thinking. Highly recommend!' Svend Brinkmann, University of Aalborg, Denmark

SynopsisThe pleasure of thinking is fundamental for human life. Exploring arts and philosophy, and integrating research in different domains of psychology, this book highlights five modalities of the pleasure of thinking. Following biographical trajectories, it shows how the pleasure of thinking deploys and how important it is to preserve it., Tania Zittoun demonstrates that there is pleasure in thinking, and that the pleasure of thinking plays a key role in our lives - in the development of children, in learning, in adult life, and in ageing. Drawing on arts and philosophy, exploring research in developmental psychology, cultural psychology, and psychoanalysis, it highlights five modalities of thinking: curiosity, the functional pleasure of pursuing a task, the pleasure of discovery, the dialogical pleasure of thinking with others, and a meta-pleasure. This book proposes a unique integrative model of thinking, conceived as a situated activity, following trajectories that combine modalities of pleasure. Evolving with time, the pleasure of thinking can take place as we reason, make sense, or daydream, at school, at work, when we garden, or do science. Academics and graduate students in sociocultural, critical, developmental, and cognitive psychology will benefit from The Pleasure of Thinking.
