The community was founded by Dr. Victor Baranco (son of the Oakland jazz pianist Wilbert Baranco), a self-made millionaire who had achieved “the American dream” but was still looking for more in life. One night in 1966 he deliberately examined his life and concluded that he and everything in the world were perfect and that he was responsible for everything that had happened to him. Based on this realization, in 1968 he conceived of the Morehouse lifestyle as one in which people could live together pleasurably without doing anything they didn’t want to do, while serving the world unselfishly and profiting by it. Since its inception, Lafayette Morehouse has conducted extensive research in how a group can live together pleasurably, including groups as small as two, focusing on topics such as lifestyles, communication, coupled relationships, and sensuality.

Chauffeured movement is enjoyed by many people when it is relaxing, safe but not too monotonous. Waiting, interchanging, stops and holdups, for example due to traffic or for security, are discomforting.

MUK asks the baritone to use singing techniques used in old traditional Serbian music. Milica Djordjević's music is described as “rough, often even raw in the gesture”, as a “vital tonal language that refuses less harmony and beautiful sound than that it gives the experience of the elemental quite pleasurably: tones of the earth’s emanations.” In 2015, she won the Belmont Prize for New Music from the Forberg-Schneider Foundation.

Certainly the "slushy" prose in Take Over and the other manuscripts were the sort a man like Mr. A. with his background would perpetrate. The manuscripts frequently used the adjective "pleasurable" as did Mr. A. in conversation; even Mr. A.'s initial letter to Peter Fleming promised "very pleasurable news concerning your late brother Ian." A communication purportedly from Maugham claimed that the deceased authors wished for those still alive to believe life continues after death and that "life goes on and very pleasurably I can assure you.". Despite this, Hart-Davis admits that this theory suffers by not explaining how Vera could so readily write in her mother's hand.

Critical reception for The Winter Soldier has been predominantly positive, with the New York Journal of Books praising the book and calling its ending "surprisingly satisfying". Writing for The New York Times, Anthony Marra cited Mason's research and the book's "improbable narrative pleasures" as a highlight, writing "Within the meticulously researched and magnificently realized backdrop of European dissolution, Mason finds his few lost souls, and shepherds them toward an elusive peace." Newsday's Tom Beer opined that while the book "happens to draw on history" it "does what all the best novels do: Creates a world in which readers pleasurably lose themselves."
