Face time — that’s what we call in-person meetings today, and they’re rare, not just at work but at home too. Yet face-to-face contact matters, says psychologist Dr. Susan Pinker — author of The Village Effect. Tight friendships and love heal us, help children learn, add years to our lives, and increase joy. Blending the latest findings from the new field of social neuroscience with human stories, Dr. Pinker explores the impact of face-to-face contact from cradle to grave, from city to Sardinian mountain village, from classroom to workplace, from love and marriage to divorce. Susan Pinker joins Vicki Monday Oct 27 — hope you can too!! Noon PT / 3 pm ET on #Seattle’s #KKNW am 1150 & FM 98.9HD3. Or online.
