Reading: Dr. Kelli Harding THE RABBIT EFFECT: LIVE LONGER, HAPPIER, AND HEALTHIER WITH THE GROUNDBREAKING SCIENCE OF KINDNESS at Brookline Booksmith Used Book Cellar

September 26, 2019 | 7:00 pm

Free

When Columbia University doctor Kelli Harding began her clinical practice, she never intended to explore the invisible factors behind our health–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—made the difference between a heart attack and a healthy heart. At once paradigm-shifting and empowering, The Rabbit Effect shares a radical new way to think about health, wellness, and how we live.

Dr. Kelli Harding is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Columbia University Medical Center. She is a diplomat of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, as well as boarded in the specialty of psychosomatic (mind-body) medicine. Kelli works in the emergency room at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and has appeared on Today, Good Morning America, NPR, The New York Times, Medscape, WFUV’s Cityscape, and US News & World Report.
