“The social brain is in its natural habitat when we're talking with someone face-to-face in real time.”
— Daniel Goleman
Simplified Meaning:
When we talk to people in person, our brains work best and feel most comfortable. Imagine chatting with a friend over coffee: you can see their expressions, hear their tone of voice, and respond immediately. This face-to-face interaction helps us understand each other better because we can pick up on all the little details that get lost in texts or phone calls. For example, when someone is sad, seeing their tears and hearing their voice makes it easier to comfort them. Our brains are designed for this kind of real-time communication; it's how we've connected with each other for thousands of years. If you want to improve your relationships, try to have more face-to-face conversations instead of relying only on digital messages. This way, your interactions will be more genuine and meaningful.
