Ouch!: Why Pain Hurts, and Why it Doesn't Have To

When it comes to pain, we all too often default to a "grin and bear it" mentality. While pain seems both simple and inevitable, authors Margee Kerr and Linda Rodriguez McRobbie argue that it is neither. They detail how our relationship with it has worsened over the centuries and how advances in neuroscence and biomedicine have revealed tons of new information. Sharing pain connects us as humans, they say, and isn't such a bad thing after all.
