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

4.0

"Why are our brains built in such a way that a broken heart can feel as painful as a broken leg?''

I've been highlighting a lot whilst I've been reading this. This book is truly fascinating filled with interesting scientific research and anecdotes to make things simpler. Learning about how our brains are wired to be socially connected has intrigued me. I'm reading this thinking "of course!" reflecting on our everyday human behaviours.

It's very appropriate to read this book during such a difficult year. 2020 has brought it's challenges, we've craved human interaction more than anything and our circumstances have forced many of us apart. This book may offer you an explanation as to why it's so important for people to feel socially connected.
