Simran G. Singh's book, The Light We Give, How Sick Wisdom Can Transform Your Life is about the value of sharing with others. His parents took away his birthday presents to teach him that generosity is a real driver of happiness. He and his wife have developed their own practice around this: On her birthday we give her a list of charities which she can choose from.
Following 9/11, Simran Jeet Singh's Sikh family in Texas was subjected to extreme racist abuse. And yet, Simran's father chose to look on the bright side and offer thanks instead for the acts of kindness friends and neighbors showed them. How was such optimism possible?
Simran - author of The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life - explains how practicing positive habits and living by our values as often as we can will really help when a crisis arises.
