>> so you have kind of the basic needs. so you have food, sleep and sex. pretty much boils down to that. if you're talking about actual pleasure. >> reporter: the pleasure goes well beyond basic needs. yale psychologist paul bloom says why we enjoy what we enjoy is very complicated. >> it seems like we just taste food. we taste wine. we respond to our visceral sensations, but actually it is surprisingly deep. >> reporter: so deep, in fact, that bloom was pleased to write a book on pleasure which he says is as much about our brains as about our experiences. >> our pleasure is a response not just to the physical make-up of something, what it looks like or tastes like or smells like or feels like but rather to our belief of what it really is, what its real essence is. >> reporter: boy, can we be fooled. paul bloom recalled one experiment with wine drinkers done by scientists at stanford and cal tech. >> half the people are told they're drinking cheap wine. the other half they're told they're drinking something out of a $150-$150 bottle. it tastes better to them if they're drinking from an expensive bottle. if they think they're drinking expensive wine parts of their brain that are associated with pleasure and reward are lighting up with christmas tree. >> if i have people over for dinner, add a little one when i put it on the table. >> that's the you will mat trick that makes the wine taste better. >> reporter: it's the only trick that works on human beings. >> both my dog and me drinks water. but i'm the one who cares where it came from. my dog doesn't care. >> reporter: if we put a higher price tag on that bottle of water you'll enjoy it more. >> that's right. i may give my dog premium dog food but the dog doesn't care that i spent a lot of money for it. >> $7,000, $85,000. >> reporter: people, on the other hand, seem to get enormous pleasure out of spending enormous sums on some very curious things. >> $32,500 on the right side. >> reporter: was michael jackson's jacket really worth $1.8 million? >> at $42,500. >> reporter: or how about president kennedy's tape measure which went for almost $50,000 at auction? or eric clapton's guitar, snapped up for just under a million bucks. given all that, all bloom wondered what people might pay for the pleasure of owning, say, george clooney's sweater. >> much more than they would pay for my sweater or for a brand new sweater. >> reporter: why? for bragging rights or to resell on ebay? apparently not. >> so we did an experiment where we told people, you can't boast about it. you can't resell it. the value goes down a little bit. but here's what makes the value really drop. we told another group of subjects that we thoroughly washed it before it got to them. now the value plummets. >> reporter: it's not still george clooney's sweater. >> as my wife put it, you washed away the clooney kooties. you washed away the essence of the person. >> reporter: that gives them more pleasure in owning it. >> it does. >> reporter: human beings are strange. >> human beings are extraordinary. >> reporter: some pleasures are universal like eating these mouth-watering butter and sugar concoctions here at magnolia bakery in new york city. this really is sheer pleasure on a plate. but not all of life's pleasure are so straightforward. in fact, if you think about it, some of them are downright weird. >> cheese. cheese is spoiled milk. it smells bad but the point is we get great pleasure out of it and some people love the stinky cheeses. part of the pleasure of eating them is they really smell bad but they taste good. >> reporter: his studies go beyond the pleasures of the disgusting to the joy of the downright painful. take hot chili peppers. >> hot chili peppers are eaten by over two billion people in the world and yet this is an inately negative experience. little babies don't like it. the question to me was, why would anybody put in their mouth something that produces a pain signal from the mouth to the brain? >> reporter: his answer: what he calls benign masochism. the same human quirk that explains why we enjoy horror movies that terrify us. ♪ crying > why we like sad songs that make us cry. >> it's a sense of your mind over your body. your body is saying, bad news, get out of here. your mind knows, i'm actually not in danger. i'm mastering the negative experience. my mastery of it gives me pleasure. >> reporter: but there are limits. just ask those chili pepper people. >> what happens is that the one that people like best tends to be the one that's just below the level they can't bear. in other words, they're pushing the limit of how hot they can stand it. similarly with roller coasters, people who love roller coasters will like the scariest one they can stand. >> reporter: push your pleasure to that limit and, odd as it seems, odds are you'll want more. what's the best strategy to maximize life's pleasures? when something pleasurable happens, this lights up. >> well, this can light up for a couple of different reasons. >> reporter: emery professor gregory burns did an experiment that offers a clue. when he gave subjects alternating drops of water and juice, their brain activity showed they preferred the juice. no surprise. but when the juice came at unexpected intervals and was a surprise, they liked it even more. his advice then? surprise yourself. >> you have to take risks, i think to really experience pleasure. there's a reason why people say the first time is always the best. the first time you experience something, whether it's the first kiss, the first bite of sushi, whatever you like, it's always the best. >> reporter: when it's really a surprise. >> yep. >> reporter: so whether it's clooney's sweater, roller coasters, chili peppers, or something else entirely.... >> oh, god, chocolate is terrific. >> cup cakes perhaps or sweets. >> good friends. good beer. and like summertime. without a doubt. >> reporter: treasure those pleasures. remember there's always room for something new. so people should just keep pushing the envelope. >> i think so. i mean, i try. >> reporter: i'm going bungee jumping tomorrow. that kind of thing. >> yeah, why not?
