Why we need to be kind

Ryan from Homeless Library, sent out a weekly tip for homeless, mentally ill and addicted patrons this holiday season that I wanted to share with you:

Fact 1: When humans experience stress, our brains release Cortisol.

Fact 2: Cortisol increases aggression.

What that means for you: When you are rude to the people around you (causing them stress), their brains release Cortisol. That makes them more aggressive with you.

So… be nice! People will be nicer to you (because their brain chemistry will be different)!

Peace,

Ryan
