The need for love and intimacy is a fundamental human need, as primal as the need for food, water, and air.

The Internet has transformed many parts of our daily lives, touching everything from how we find information to how we go shopping, get directions, and even stay in touch with friends and family.

I've found that if I tell somebody 'Eat this and don't do that,' it's not only not helpful, it's counterproductive because even more than being healthy, we want to feel free and in control, and as soon as somebody tells us to do something, there's a tendency to do just the opposite.

An educated patient is empowered; thus, more likely to become healthy.

People who are lonely and depressed are three to 10 times more likely to get sick and die prematurely than those who have a strong sense of love and community. I don’t know any other single factor that affects our health - for better and for worse - to such a strong degree.

We all know we're going to die one day, but who wants to think about it? What's sustainable is joy, pleasure and freedom.

Stress is not so much what you do, but how you react to what you do.
