Product details

The book "Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect" by Matthew D. Lieberman explores groundbreaking research in social neuroscience that reveals humans' deep need for social connection. Lieberman identifies three key neural networks in the brain that support social life: one for experiencing social pain and pleasure (linked to physical pain pathways), one for "mindreading" or understanding others' emotions and intentions to predict their behavior, and one for absorbing cultural values that link individuals to social groups. This social brain wiring influences how we learn, remember, and cooperate, shaping our personal well-being and social interactions.

Key Features

Lieberman shows that social pain activates the same brain regions as physical pain, explaining why social rejection or loss can feel deeply painful. The brain's "mindreading" network is often active even when at rest, helping us navigate social situations by predicting others' reactions. The "harmonizing" network integrates social values into our sense of self, fostering group cohesion. These adaptations evolved to help humans survive and thrive socially, influencing everything from fairness perception to communication and learning. Understanding this wiring has implications for improving education, workplaces, and mental health.​
