We are profoundly social creatures – more than we know.

In Social , renowned psychologist Matthew Lieberman explores groundbreaking research in social neuroscience revealing that our need to connect with other people is even more fundamental, more basic, than our need for food or shelter. Because of this, our brain uses its spare time to learn about the social world – other people and our relation to them. It is believed that we must commit 10,000 hours to master a skill. According to Lieberman, each of us has spent 10,000 hours learning to make sense of people and groups by the time we are ten .

Social argues that our need to reach out to and connect with others is a primary driver behind our behavior. We believe that pain and pleasure alone guide our actions. Yet, new research using fMRI – including a great deal of original research conducted by Lieberman and his UCLA lab -- shows that our brains react to social pain and pleasure in much the same way as they do to physical pain and pleasure. Fortunately, the brain has evolved sophisticated mechanisms for securing our place in the social world. We have a unique ability to read other people’s minds, to figure out their hopes, fears, and motivations, allowing us to effectively coordinate our lives with one another. And our most private sense of who we are is intimately linked to the important people and groups in our lives. This wiring often leads us to restrain our selfish impulses for the greater good. These mechanisms lead to behavior that might seem irrational, but is really just the result of our deep social wiring and necessary for our success as a species.

Based on the latest cutting edge research, the findings in Social have important real-world implications. Our schools and businesses, for example, attempt to minimalize social distractions. But this is exactly the wrong thing to do to encourage engagement and learning, and literally shuts down the social brain, leaving powerful neuro-cognitive resources untapped. The insights revealed in this pioneering book suggest ways to improve learning in schools, make the workplace more productive, and improve our overall well-being.

读后感

本书最大的特点是关于人类社会化研究的重要结论都结合了大脑的神经研究结果，核心观点：社交是促进人不断进化的核心动机，大脑有大量的进化是为社会化服务的。 大脑在我们空闲时，会激活思考社会认知的默认网络（背内侧前额叶皮层，心智解读） 社会痛苦/快乐和物理痛苦/快乐背...  

昨天在家里看完了《社交天性》，这是一本新书，今年6月份出版的。书里介绍了大量的试验，更是利用了核磁共振扫描大脑工作区域之类的手段，借此来表达他的观点，人类天生就有社交冲动，并且有三大驱动力。 作者是马修·利伯曼，社会认知神经科学领域最重要的权威学者之一，他研...

嗯……淘了点ideas出来 希望能开花结果????

so interesting, and could be leveraged for a great novel or movie: social pain is like physical pain -- would chatting with friends only while someone standing nearby considered as bad as punch him? social recognition as physical reward -- would love/praise useful in management, life? the self is also a backdoor for social influence -- are you you?

语言平实， 作者偶尔会穿插自己生活中的事情举例， 作为非专业读者，这本书还是具有可读性的。虽然前半部分略显繁琐单调， 列举大量实验来来去去只为证明一个观点，our brains are designed to be social. 最后几章提出一些在教育和社会可实践的应用想法，有一定启发意义

这类用社交疼痛和物理疼痛大脑活跃区域的相似来推出社交疼痛如物理疼痛一样真实的论证有多强、极少提及元分析的个别研究结果作为论据有多可靠、fMRI无法探究大脑内部机制等原因造成许多推论还只是有待验证的假说，撇开这些问题作者提出了一套有趣的观点：进化论上社交愉悦和疼痛对于幼儿存活具有意义，为了满足社交需求我们发展出了把物理动作看作具有意义的行为的镜像系统和解读他人心智的系统，为了与社会相协调社会建构的观念被我们当成了发自内心的信仰（甚至能找到与此相关的大脑区域），因此自我并非如我们所想那般独立于社会和他人之外，而自我意识如全景式监狱般规训着自我，让社会成为我们实行自我控制的最终受益者。
