Homo Hapticus

“We cannot live healthily and happily without physical closeness.”

“Without the sense of touch, life is not possible and Homo Sapiens is Homo Hapticus every second of his life,” says Martin Grunwald.

How can a sensory system be of such vital importance?

A person can be born blind or deaf and still survive. He may also lose his sense of smell and taste, and this will not endanger his life. However, we cannot say the same for the sense of touch. Without this system, we cannot even know our own existence.

In this book, the author reveals with concrete examples why a short hug is more comforting than a thousand words, how massage is effective against depression and anxiety, the positive effects of diving suits in the treatment of anorexia, why tablets delay the speech development of our children, and why shaking hands with a warm hand increases our chances in job interviews. .
