Furthermore, breastfeeding…

We all know that animals have a special place in the human heart. But how do they affect the brain? A team of researchers at Caltech found individual brain cells that react to animals but not to other humans, places or things. These cells were found in the amygdala, an area of the brain that is involved with emotions. These cells react to any kind of animal, such as dogs, cats and even spiders.

In this book, Sinek describes four chemicals in the body that work in driving our behavior: endorphins, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. He goes on to explain how endorphins and dopamine, the “selfish” chemicals, help a leader to be self-driven and survive; serotonin and oxytocin, the “selfless” chemicals, increase feelings of trust and strengthen social bonds (45). Without the self-driven, yet addictive, “selfish” chemicals, humanity wouldn’t be where…
