Love is not optional. It is not something we can do without. Love is a biological necessity. My scientific research on the brain has convinced me that a healthy love life is as necessary to a person's well-being as nutritious food, exercise, or clean water. Evolution has sculpted our brains and bodies specifically to build and benefit from lasting romantic connections. When those connections are frayed or ruptured, the consequences to our mental and physical health are devastating. My research has revealed that not only are we wired for love but that, like Dirac, we cannot realize our full potential as human beings without it. Whatever the future of our social life will look like, love must be the foundation and cornerstone.

company culture is one in which people have something in common that distinguishes them quite sharply from the rest of the world. If everybody likes ice cream, that probably doesn’t matter … you also need to strike the right balance between athletes (competitive people) and nerds (creators) no matter what.
