Summary: a fascinating conversation with pioneering neuroscientist Dr. Sue Carter about the crucial role of oxytocin in human social bonding and flourishing. We discussed how oxytocin promotes trust, empathy, and prosocial behaviors - essentially helping us connect. However, modern society and technology often work against our oxytocin systems, increasing isolation and anxiety. Understanding oxytocin's biology provides insights into how we can engineer better systems and spaces that nurture our inherent need for belonging.
