Introduction

We all have a social expert hiding in our subconscious.

At rest, our brain defaults to what scientists call the 'default network.' It automatically dwells on social interactions and our relationships with other people.

Because of this, we spend a remarkable amount of our time every day contemplating human interaction.

For a long time, people have thought that pain and pleasure drive our behaviors. But new research suggests this might not be the case.

In Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired To Connect, psychologist Matthew Lieberman uses the latest research to argue that our need to connect with others is the primary driver behind our behavior.
