So really, kindness is the underlying value in every single part of our life.
Who knew that kindness could be a secret ingredient for a longer life? This episode of 'All In The Mind' dives into how human connection and empathy can significantly impact our longevity and well-being. With the Covid-19 pandemic forcing us to keep our distance, it has become clearer than ever how much we need each other.
Host Lynne Malcolm speaks with Marta Zaraska, author of 'Growing Young: How Friendship, Optimism, and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100', who shares fascinating research on the 'soft drivers' of longevity—things like friendships and positive relationships that can keep us healthier than any superfood or fitness tracker. The episode also features Ralph Kelly, founder of the Stay Kind Foundation, who turned personal tragedy into a mission to spread kindness and empathy worldwide.
His story is a powerful reminder of how small acts of kindness can ripple out and make a big difference. If you're curious about how to build stronger social networks and cultivate empathy in your daily life, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that could change the way you think about health and happiness.
