Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect by Matthew D. Lieberman

3.0

Well this book definitely brought me back to the coursework for my undergraduate Psychology degree!

This was a very interesting and thorough summary of a lot of different studies on the brain and the way it is wired for social interactions. It is interesting to read about the brain and the way the newest imaging tests are now able to pinpoint areas of that are responsible for a humans interest and need for social circles. And whether you are ok with animal testing or not, it is also amazing to see just how similar different animals are to us.

The last three chapters are a wonderful summary of the point of the book, including a look at the impact of social media on our lives and really our happiness and contentment.
