There was a TV series. What was the dude's name? It was called Connections. Okay. I don't know. Well, yes, you do. He wrote a book called Connections.

Deisseroth, when he was on your podcast, mentioned something—perhaps it was in his book, I don’t recall—that love is one of these things we create narratives around.

Why people recommend it

Connections by Karl Deisseroth explores complex scientific concepts and the neurological narratives surrounding human relationships and emotions. On an episode of StarTalk Radio titled Answering Questions About How Neil & Chuck Met, Escaping Black Holes and More released on July 15, 2025, Neil deGrasse Tyson brought up the book. Tyson mentioned Connections to discuss how historical figures and chance encounters lead to transformations in civilization, referencing the broader theme of interconnected events. Additionally, on an episode of the Lex Fridman Podcast titled #393 – Andrew Huberman: Relationships, Drama, Betrayal, Sex, and Love released on August 17, 2023, Andrew Huberman referenced the author. Huberman noted that Deisseroth, during a previous appearance on the podcast, had mentioned something from his book regarding how love is one of those phenomena around which people create narratives. These podcast citations underscore the book's broad interdisciplinary appeal, bridging neuroscientific insights with broader historical and psychological explorations of human connection and affection.
