About the book
Matthew Lieberman, a neuroscientist and social psychologist, reveals how the need for social connection is as fundamental to the human brain as the need for food or protection. Using cutting-edge neuroscientific research, the book explores how our capacity to read minds, feel empathy, and belong to groups shapes not only our psychology but also our decisions, values, and well-being.
A work that reconciles neuroscience with everyday experience, demonstrating that far from being isolated rational machines, we are fundamentally social beings whose flourishing depends on the quality of the relationships we build.
