When we look back on the pandemic and its longer lasting impacts, I believe one impact that will become more clear is the negative impact on our social connections and relationships. Which then impacts our health and our happiness according to this book. The first half really digs into some deeper neuroscience and the way our brains our wired as social creatures. We are built for connection and when we are not thinking about about other things, our default is to think about how we are fitting into the social norms around us. That was a little harder to follow but I really enjoyed the last half that talked about the implications of being social creatures. Fascinating book that include great insights for parents, teachers and government leaders.
