About this audiobook
Zoodulcis is a feeling and cognition about soft fascination with certain types of animals and how this fascination contributes to human well-being. Beneficial human-animal interactions contribute to our mental, physical, and emotional health in countless ways. From attention restoration and stress reduction, to recovery from disease and illness, animals can improve our lives. Learn about how interacting with and even just watching softly fascinating animals can lower blood pressure, increase physical fitness, lift moods, shorten hospital stays, and even assist with emotional trauma such as PTSD.
