Kindness fuels energy and builds self-esteem. It produces serotonin, which generates calmness, helps combat depression, and even heals wounds. Kindness also produces oxytocin, a “love” hormone critical for forming loving attachments, and decreases cortisol, our stress hormone. For the parts of our brains that function as machines, the science is pretty clear: kindness is good for us. – Ameeta
