A few weeks ago I found myself traveling to Queens to attend a family funeral. It's been a tough year and while in some important ways this was a blessing it was still a rough day. I found myself sitting in a super crowded food court and for some reason felt so sad and disconnected and a little lonely. An act of kindness from a total stranger got me through and completely changed my mindset. It got me thinking, what is the science behind kindness and is it linked to better health?
