The Dr. Pat Show: THE VILLAGE EFFECT - How Face-to-Face Contact Can Make Us Healthier, Happier, and Smarter with Susan Pinker
New research tells us that our relationships are just as critical as
diet, exercise and managing stress to our survival. Chatting with
friends over a meal or taking a morning walk with a neighbor serve
important biological functions. Weaving together findings from the
emerging field of social neuroscience with intriguing case studies,
Susan Pinker reveals the important role social bonds play in our lives
from educating children, falling in love, aging well and even
negotiating business transactions. In her new book, Susan tells us why
we need to build real human contact into our lives now more than ever.
