The social brain and its superpowers: Matthew Lieberman, Ph.D. at TEDxStLouis


Neuroscientist Matthew Lieberman explains that through his studies hes learned that our kryptonite is ignoring the importance of our social superpowers and by building on our social intuition, we can make ourselves smarter, happier, and more productive. In this TEDx Talk, Lieberman explores groundbreaking research in social neuroscience that reveals that our need to connect with other people is even more fundamental than our need for food or shelter and that the social pain and pleasure we experience has just as much impact as physical pain and pleasure.

TEDxStLouis was held at MX Movies in downtown St. Louis, Missouri on 9.19.13.
