Are we hardwired to trust others? Yes—and science backs it up. In this video, we explore how trust helped early humans survive, how your brain uses oxytocin to build connection, and why trust still forms the foundation of modern society. You’ll learn how evolution shaped your ability to read people, how systems like laws and contracts helped us trust strangers, and why today’s digital world is making trust harder to hold onto.

00:00Welcome back Sunbro. We hope you all in great health and great money. Before we start,

00:05please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about why trust matters more than you think.

00:14Trust isn't just something you learn, it's built into you. It connects your relationships,

00:19work, and society. And it goes way back before laws or language.

00:231. Trust helped us survive. Early on, humans needed trust to survive.

00:27You couldn't hunt, gather, or stay safe alone. So we evolved to spot trust cues,

00:32body language, tone, facial expressions, and our brains even reward connection with oxytocin,

00:37the trust hormone. 2. Why give and take matters. At the same time,

00:41cooperation ran on give and take. You helped build shelter, someone else shared food later.

00:46Generosity earned trust, cheetahs got shut out, and exclusion back then could be deadly.

00:513. How trust evolved with society. As groups grew into villages, cities, and nations,

00:56we added contracts, laws, and shared values so you could trust strangers and rely on the system

01:01if they broke their word. 4. Trust today. Trust still powers everything, relationships,

01:07business, even governments. But now it's under pressure. With non-stop news, digital noise,

01:12and inequality, people don't know who or what to trust. When trust breaks, relationships,

01:17communities, and systems suffer. 5. Rebuilding trust starts small. Be honest, keep your word,

01:22own your mistakes, and hold others accountable. At larger scale, we need fair policies,

01:27empathetic leaders, community efforts, and transparent tech. Trust isn't fixed, it evolves.

01:33What began as a survival instinct is now key to building connection and cooperation.

01:37When you understand trust and how to grow it, you can build stronger relationships,

01:41communities, and a better future. Here are three ways to build trust every day.

01:45Listen and empathize. Make people feel heard. It builds respect fast.

01:49Be consistent. Keep your word and own your mistakes. Show care daily. Small acts of kindness build

01:55lasting trust. Bottom line, you're built for trust, and with daily effort, it becomes one of your

02:00greatest strengths.

02:07Come again to our next meeting Sunbro.
