Wired to Connect: The Evolutionary Power of Social Bonds

Thank you for joining the live this afternoon, it was so much fun! I can talk for hours on social bonds as it’s my area of speciality, and I promise I’ll dedicate one of the upcoming tutorials to it! If you missed it, no worrie , the recording is here for you.

The highlights

Today we talked about;

• Why we are looking at evolutionary psychology in the context of burnout.

• What we mean by a social bond and what happens to us physiologically when we do.

• How social bonds are measured and examples of their positive effects on the body, and how they have developed in evolutionary history in other taxa.

• Tips on how use social bonds to support our alignment, nervous systems and connection with one another including on Substack.

• Exciting additions to The Burnout Rebellion in the coming weeks.
