Episode notes
Generosity and Happiness
- While increased wealth brings some happiness, the impact diminishes as wealth grows.
- Generosity, however, provides a significant happiness boost, comparable to doubling one's income.
$10,000 Experiment
- In a TED experiment, 200 people received $10,000 with no spending restrictions.
- Surprisingly, they gave away two-thirds of the money on average, finding joy in doing so.
Imperfect Generosity
- Celebrate imperfect generosity instead of focusing on motives, as there are always mixed motives in giving.
- Embrace giving for its positive ripple effects, not just out of guilt or obligation.
