Connections unites two warring intellectual traditions- hermeneutics and cognitive neuroscience.
“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.”
― Herman Melville
“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
― Brené Brown

Hello Amir,
The answers here are very comprehensive and so I'll just add a quick point about (the broad strokes) the relevance of culture. Culture, allows for the mutual understanding of expectations, reasoning, problem solving styles, humour, language, expressions, values...things that facilitate personal connections. The more experience or exposure to various culture allows for personal-group growth/sophistication in these areas and expands our capacity to connect. Without culture we could not develop these social norms and without them we could not build meaningful connections. For these reasons, culture is critical in the development and growth of connections between people.
