About This Quote

The quote, “It is possible to cause seemingly biochemical changes through human emotional involvement. You literally have changed his chemistry by being his friend.” was written by the British scientist and psychiatrist, William Sargant in a book called The Mind of the Child. He was a researcher in a controversial area of child development. This area of study involves the effect one person has on another person emotionally.

A person’s emotional response can have a direct effect on another person's physical health. Dr. Sargant is famous for saying, “The most important thing in life is to find out what you love to do and then find an honest way of doing it.

Once you have found your work, you will be able to love it more than your life itself.”
