The Neuroscience of Human Relationships (Second Edition)

Attachment and the Developing Social Brain

De: Louis Cozolino

Narrado por: Stephen Bel Davies

A revised edition of the best-selling book on how relationships build our brains.

As human beings, we cherish our individuality, yet we know that we live in constant relationship to others and that other people play a significant part in regulating our emotional and social behavior. Although this interdependence is a reality of our existence, we are just beginning to understand that we have evolved as social creatures with interwoven brains and biologies. The human brain itself is a social organ, and to truly understand being human, we must understand not only how we as whole people exist with others, but how our brains, themselves, exist in relationship to other brains.

The first edition of this book tackled these important questions of interpersonal neurobiology - that the brain is a social organ built through experience - using poignant case examples from the author's years of clinical experience. Elegant explanations of social neuroscience wove together emerging findings from the research literature to bring neuroscience to the stories of our lives.

Fantastic!

This is a comprehensive and useful resource to all things “brain”. It provides a clear and detailed explanation of how the brain functions with easy to follow concepts and processes.

Very Clear About Brain Systems- narrator almost impossible to listen to.

Excellent detail - not for strictly lay people, good for people with some neuroscience background. The narrator is truly awful. Mannered, and weird ticks, often pronouncing words that end in es as if they end in ies.
Did end up having to spring for the book which is understandably expensive to get the tables, the illustrations etc.
Tiny quibble in the content, the reveals unconscious bias: The Little Engine That Could is female.

Astounding

Quite astounding and affirming. I did not like the narration style that much. But really impressed with the content.
