"Positive Neuroscience," which brings together research on the neural basis of human well-being. The book is organized into three parts: "Social Connections," "Altruism," and "Resilience and Creativity." The excerpt focuses on the first part, exploring the role of touch in social communication and how the brain processes tactile information to form connections and promote well-being. In particular, the research highlights the importance of affective touch for the formation of social bonds, arguing that it is processed by neural pathways distinct from those used for basic sensory perception. The research also explores the relationship between touch and the development of parenting behaviors, investigating neural differences in parents and non-parents. The last section of the excerpt discusses how the human brain "resonates" with others, enabling emotional communication through mechanisms such as empathy and imitation.
