Overheard in Class:
“Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.”

Humans are biologically designed for connection, meaning our brains treat social interaction as a fundamental necessity rather than a luxury. Research from neuroscientists like Dr. Ben Rein, author of Why Brains Need Friends, explains that our brains have built-in systems to reward social behavior and alert us to the dangers of isolation.
Tim’s Takeaway: This book reminds me of the idea that we know CrossFit works to make us stronger and fitter and then in 20 years some scientist will come along to tell us why. CrossFit Affiliate owners know from experience the power of presence and community to improve people’s lives. This book gives you the science of why that is.
Thank you for your support.
I look forward to what we will do together.
