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.
