Hard Knox with Amanda KnoxHow We Evolved to Be Good (Nicholas Christakis)Nicholas Christakis is a Yale sociologist and physician whose research explores how human connection, cooperation, and contagion shape societies.

How does trust and empathy hold civilization together and why is building stronger relationships the most powerful medicine we have? Nicholas studies how cooperation, love, and trust are encoded in our biology and expressed through social networks that persist beyond any single person, arguing that the “real” structure of huma...

The Doctor's ArtSocial Contagion and the Foundations of a Good Society | Nicholas Christakis, MD, PhD, MPHOne of the most fascinating concepts in human health is the idea of social contagion, meaning that emotions, behaviors, and health outcomes can spread through social networks, much like infectious diseases. Examples in the medical literature abound: if a person becomes obese, their friends have a significantly higher chance of becoming obese — even their friends of friends have increased odds of becoming obese. Similarly, someone who quit smoking is likely to create a ripple effect through their social networks, influencing many more people to quit smoking. Social contagion affects life and death itself — after the death of a spouse, the...
