Well, I asked a Stanford Neuroscientist and his answers are absolutely fascinating. Dr. Ben Rein is an award-winning neuroscientist and lecturer at Stanford, and the author of the phenomenal new book, Why Brains Need Friends. We are talking about why hanging out with your friends floods your brain with a chemical cocktail that is basically a microdose of MDMA, why being married beats chemotherapy as the number one predictor of surviving cancer, why Botox and Tylenol and Advil are making it harder to make friends, yes, really, and why we should all probably get dogs and get our parents to get dogs if we want them to live a long time. You're going to come away with a ton of action steps to not only live longer and be healthier, but also just feel better every single day. 🎧 What you’ll learn: • How to find your ideal \"social dose\" • Introvert or extrovert: You might be wrong about yourself • How to audit your social life • The Botox friendship problem • The neuroscience behind social anxiety (why you dread going out) • What your pet is doing to your brain • The hidden social side effects of Tylenol and Advil Find the introversion to extroversion assessment and the social journal mentioned in this episode here: https://www.benrein.com/book (tag @lizmoody and @dr.benrein with your results!).
