Book Preview:

#1 The same relationship that can make you so happy can make life feel like it isn’t worth living when the relationship is over or a loved one has passed on. Our brains have been built to feel so much pain at the loss of a loved one.

#2 The response of social pain is a result of our brains’ evolution to experience threats to our social connections in the same way they experience physical pain. It helps ensure the survival of our children by keeping them close to us.

#3 The second presidential debate between President Ronald Reagan and challenger Walter Mondale was held on October 21, 1984. It was won by Reagan because of his comedic timing, which allowed him to carry the day. Mondale didn’t exactly have a spring chicken attitude, but viewers thought Reagan was funny because a small group of strangers in the audience thought he was funny.

#4 The brain has a network devoted to social reasoning, which is the second of the three major brain adaptations. The more someone is focused on a problem, the more that person may be likely to alienate others around him or her who could help solve the problem.
