The healing power of kindness

Understanding the connection between kindness and health

When you think about your health, what things first come to mind? For many of us, it’s diet, exercise, sleep, and routine medical check ups. But did you know that your social environment plays a major role in your well-being? Or that showing kindness can boost your own health? On this episode, Deloitte chief well-being officer Jen Fisher discusses the importance of kindness to our well-being with Dr. Kelli Harding, author of The Rabbit Effect.

Our workplaces have a profound impact on our health, and most of us think that it's important to have a good doctor, but it turns out it's also important to have a good manager.

–Kelli Harding, MD, author and psychiatrist
