Miles sits down with renowned neuroscientists Dr. Bruce Miller and Dr. Virginia Sturm, co-authors of the book "Mysteries of the Social Brain," to explore their groundbreaking work on the social brain.

From the role of specific brain networks in shaping moral behavior to how purpose and creativity emerge from our capacity to connect, this conversation redefines what it means to be human.
