When You Care: The Unexpected Magic of Caring for Others with Elissa Strauss

Dr. Dan interviews journalist Elissa Strauss about the powerful role caring for others plays in our lives and about her powerful book When You Care: The Unexpected Magic Of Caring For Others.

What if we all started to care about care? Drawing on parenting and caregiving research and her own experiences as a mother, Elissa explains to Dr. Dan that care is a long-ignored force in our collective lives – and a deeply philosophical, spiritual, and psychologically potent experience. Their discussion explores and acknowledges the breadth, depth, and beauty of all that caregivers do.
