What if the key to happiness, trust, and deeper relationships isn’t just a mindset — but something happening in your brain?
In this week’s episode of YouPotential, Shaun sits down with Dr. Paul Zak — neuroscientist, best-selling author, and pioneer of the “trust molecule” oxytocin — to explore the brain science behind human connection.
