  • Why Brains Need Friends w/ Dr. Ben Rein

    Why Brains Need Friends w/ Dr. Ben Rein
    Oct 9 2025

    This week, Scott sits down with Dr. Ben Rein, a Stanford neuroscientist and one of today’s most engaging science communicators. Dr. Rein has spent over a decade studying the neuroscience of social interaction, and his new book, Why Brains Need Friends: The Neuroscience of Social Connection, explores how our relationships shape our minds and well-being.

    Together, they dive into the science of why humans are wired for connection, the growing epidemic of loneliness, and how social interactions influence the brain. They also unpack the neurobiology of empathy—what it is, how it works, and whether we can actually train ourselves to become more empathetic.

Covers wide range of topics within the realm of psychology, everything from mainstream to obscure. I've been following Scott for a while on Spotify, and by now I feel that weird effect where he seems like an old friend, haha! Scott seems to me like an intelligent and compassionate person, and I listen to his podcast when I need a pick-me-up in this bizarre world. The psychological perspective of the podcast is largely humanistic, in the vein of Maslow and Carl Rogers.
Scott is curious, empathetic, and probing as an interviewer/host. Also recommended for anyone with a "divergent" mind of any sort... Scott had to contend with the low expectations and barriers set upon him due to his childhood learning disability. As such, he's a big advocate for (and model of) the potential of neurodivergent minds.

For anyone with an interest in psychology
