But then there were the rabbits. In 1978, a seemingly straightforward experiment designed to establish the relationship between high blood cholesterol and heart health in rabbits discovered that kindness—in the form of a particularly nurturing post-doc who pet and spoke to the lab rabbits as she fed them—made the difference between a heart attack and a healthy heart.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs Dr. Kelli Harding reveals in this eye-opening book, the rabbits were just the beginning of a much larger story. Groundbreaking new research shows that love, friendship, community, and our environment can have a greater impact on our health than anything that happens in the doctor’s office. For instance, chronic loneliness can be as unhealthy as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day; napping regularly can decrease one’s risk of heart disease; and people with purpose are less likely to get sick.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAt once paradigm-shifting and empowering, \u003ci\u003eThe Rabbit Effect\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates vital public health research showing kindness in our day-to-day lives can make the “world a healthier, happier place. I recommend this book highly for anyone who wants to live more healthfully” (Christy Turlington Burns, and CEO of Every Mother Counts).","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47831609999589,"sku":"NP9781501184277","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/652f005c-c20c-4307-8cce-ab46003aeb99.jpg?v=1760386130","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-rabbit-effect-isbn-9781501184277","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
