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 who pet and spoke to the lab rabbits as she fed them — made the difference between a heart attack and a healthy heart.

Demokratie in Gefahr – und was wir dagegen tun können. Es sind beunruhigende Zeiten: Vor wenigen Jahren waren Rechtsextremisten im Parteienspektrum noch weitgehend isoliert.

In the process, she rewrites the history of modern thought and points philosophy back to the questions that originally animated it.

Instead we outsource our questions to experts and interpret vitamin as shorthand for health.
