Y'all, today's QOD is an act of kindness increases serotonin levels in the brain.

Here we go.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show.

I'm your host Sean Croxton, a Sean Croxton.com.

We got Dr. Wayne Dyer on the show today.

And today, Dr. Dyer is going to give us a biology slash neuroscience lesson on what happens in your body and in your brain when you perform an act of kindness.

And not just to you, but also to the person who is the recipient of your kindness and also those who witness the kindness.

So today, challenge yourself to boost your serotonin levels to boost your dopamine to make yourself and someone else feel really good by performing an act of kindness.

Dr. Wayne Dyer is coming up.

Kindness. One of the great studies we've seen on kindness is this.

That when someone is the recipient of an act of kindness, if I were to extend an act of kindness to someone here in this room.

That the recipient would have their serotonin levels increased and their immune systems strengthened than research on this.

What is serotonin? It's an enzyme in the brain. This enzyme in the brain is the thing that gives you a sense of well-being.

It's what paxle and prozac and well-buterin and all of these commercial names that we have for antidepressants are designed to do to stimulate the production of serotonin so that you will have a sense of well-being.

An act of kindness increases serotonin levels in the brain and in the recipient and also in the giver of that act in the giver of that act.

So if I extend an act of kindness to you, your serotonin levels and your immune system is strengthened, my serotonin levels, my immune system is strengthened, but that's not the important part.

That's still ego. Everybody who observes that act also has their serotonin levels increased and their immune system strengthened by witnessing the act of kindness.

Is there anybody in the room who really couldn't afford to come here today? The tickets are fairly expensive.

But someone extended to you an act of kindness and said, I'll pay for it. I just want you to be here. It's that important.

Would you come up here please?

What is your name? When did what happened?

I was diagnosed with cancer about a year and a half ago and I have a very dear friend who was on the phone with me and I told him I was declared cancer for about eight days ago.
