Small interactions matter too

There’s a push toward frictionless interactions with other people, but our need for socialization is key to good health. Ben Rein is a neuroscientist, chief science officer of the Mind Science Foundation, adjunct lecturer at Stanford University, clinical assistant professor at SUNY Buffalo and science educator. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why, like good sleep and proper nutrition, social interaction is critical, why we need to fight the urge to socialize less, and offers tips for how to make a great first impression. His book is “Why Brains Need Friends: The Neuroscience of Social Connection.”
