About this episode

"Ocytocin motivates social interaction by reducing the appropriate stress response we have when we interact with someone who's new"...

The words of scientist, Paul J Zak, known as the 'King of Trust'. Paul is the founding Director of the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies and he's Professor of Economics, Psychology and Management.

Dr. Zak also serves as Professor of Neurology and is a Senior Researcher at UCLA.

Dr. Zak is a recognised expert in oxytocin. His lab discovered in 2004 that oxytocin allows us to determine who to trust. This knowledge is being used to understand the basis for civilisation and modern economies, improve negotiations, and treat patients with neurologic and psychiatric disorders.

Paul shares in this in simple ways what oxytocin is, how it works, and how to use it to recude your social anxiety.

He shares 10 simple brain hacks to reduce social anxiety and also shares fascinating insights and studies that help you understand your anxiety better, and make quick progress.

QUOTE: It's the reciprocal release of oxytocin that bonds us to other people.
