      abstract = {This book illuminates the aesthetically underrated  meaningfulness of particular elements in works of art and  aesthetic experiences generally. Beginning from the idea of  "hooks" in popular song, the book identifies experiences of  special liveliness that are of enduring interest,  supporting contemplation and probing discussion. When hooks  are placed in the foreground of aesthetic experience, so is  an enthusiastic "grabbing back" by the experiencer who  forms a quasi-personal bond with the beloved singular  moment and is probably inclined to share this  still-evolving realization of value with others. This book  presents numerous models of enthusiastic "grabbing back"  that are art-critically motivated to explain how hooks  achieve their effects and philosophically motivated to  discover how hooks and hook appreciation contribute to a  more ideally desirable life. Framing hook appreciation with  a defensible general model of aesthetic experience, this  book gives an unprecedented demonstration of the  substantial aesthetic and philosophical interest of  hook-centered inquiry.},
