Author : Matthew D. Lieberman

Social psychologist Dr. Matthew D. Lieberman is a leading scholar in social cognitive neuroscience and the chief editor of Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience. His book Social was highly acclaimed by Robert Cialdini, otherwise known as the “godfather of influence”, Robin Dunbar who put forward the “Dunbar’s number”, Walter Mischel who designed the “Marshmallow Test”, and Harvard psychology professor Daniel Gilbert!

Key Insights from Social

  • The human brain is fundamentally wired for social interactions, making social connection a critical aspect of our well-being. Lieberman argues that our social brain processes relationships just as strongly as, if not stronger than, our physical experiences.
  • The importance of social involvement can be linked to our survival; humans evolved to depend on each other for support, information, and resources. This inherent need for social connection drives our behavior and influences our mental health significantly.
  • Social pain, such as that caused by rejection or loneliness, activates the same brain areas as physical pain. This points to the deep-seated importance of social bonds in our lives and highlights the severe consequences of social isolation.
