When The Power of Kindness first appeared in 2006 it thrilled and challenged readers with one audacious promise: Your acts of generosity and decency are the secret to a fuller, more satisfying life. Kindness is not some squishy virtue, but the very key to your own happiness.
Research shows that helping others makes us happier. But in her groundbreaking work on generosity and joy, social psychologist Elizabeth Dunn found that there’s a catch: it matters how we help.
You can find deep, lasting happiness in a good deed that no one knows you did.
Simple ways to be more generous to others.
Virtues such as generosity are complicated. They involve more than just outward behaviour. A person’s underlying thoughts, feelings and motives matter, too.
This paper presents an overview of research on the science of generosity, predominantly focusing on studies from the past 20 years.
In addition to being a deeply embedded characteristic which is correlated with happiness . . . giving also has significant benefits for givers.
Researchers say they’ve discovered that even thinking about doing something generous has real mood-boosting benefits in the brain.
Gratitude and generosity go hand in hand. The more we appreciate our lives, the more we want to give to others. In Radical Generosity, best-selling author M. J. Ryan provides tools for expressing thanks.
