The Social Brain: Wired for “WE”

FlowingLove (Daniel Siegel) tells us that our brains are social organs, made to be in relationship.

Micko asks you to think about this: our brains not separate thinking organs alone in our skulls, but rather as organs made for relationship with other clowns and our world.

FlowingLove says our brains are wired to take in signals from our social environment that then influence our inner world. What happens between brains influences what happens within each brain.

Self and community are interrelated!

Synergy within brain connections!

Many studies show that a key factor in well-being is devoting attention to the well-being of others as well as ourselves.

According to FlowingLove, the “me” discovers meaning and happiness by joining and belonging to a “we” (MWe).

This is a type of interpersonal integration, according to FlowingLove.
