OXYTOC IN FACT 14

H N 2

Oxytocin is the neurochemical responsible for empathy and the storytelling connection - it actually makes us more sensitive to others. Hearing and connecting with stories increases the oxytocin in our brains. And the more oxytocin, the more we see people as trustworthy, generous and compassionate. And this leads us to wanting to help others - and it makes us happier.
