Publisher's Summary

Columbia University doctor Kelli Harding never intended to explore the invisible factors behind our health. But then there were the rabbits. In 1978 a seemingly straightforward study designed to establish the relationship between high cholesterol and heart health in rabbits discovered that kindness – in the form of a particularly nurturing researcher – made the difference between a heart attack and a healthy heart.

As Dr Harding reveals in this eye-opening book, the rabbits were just the beginning of a much larger story. What truly makes us sick – and what can make us healthy? Groundbreaking research shows that love, friendship, community, life’s purpose, our environment, and kindness can have a far greater impact on our health than anything that happens in the doctor’s office.

With engaging stories and compelling evidence, Dr Harding gives you a new model to take charge of your health and happiness.
