Courts make you happy: How to give our lives changed!

The ultimate message at Christmas time: generosity leads to real happiness! Bestselling author Chris Anderson, in his new book “Infectious Generosity”, reveals that the decision to give not only hearted heart, but also has profound emotionally positive effects on the donors. Studies impressively show that people, the donations, are significantly happier one month after their generous action than people who do not give. This is due to the distribution of the happiness hormone dopamine, which is activated by altruistic actions. Anderson further explains that generosity not only gives short -term satisfaction, but also creates happiness and meaning in life in the long term, as the reporting from OE24.de shows.

Anderson even goes one step further and shows that generosity is contagious. In a TED experiment, wealthy donors gave $ 10,000 each, which led to the fact that many recipients also became generous and passed on an average of two thirds of the money. This proves that sharing resources and the support of others not only lead to a happier individual life, but can also strengthen solidarity in society. This is described in a critical consideration of Anderson's work that illuminates the positive role of social media, which is often perceived as a place of selfishness, but can also offer a platform for generosity, as kirkus reviews reports .

The power of the community

The practical implementation of generosity can be perceived as a challenge in today's stressful and materialistic world. However, Anderson encourages people to show small gestures of friendliness in everyday life, be it through a smile, compliments or through voluntary activities. The idea that even small deeds can have a big impact is underpinned by gratitude, which results from their own positive experiences, often arouses the need to return something. With a clear appeal to set concrete goals for your own giving, Anderson makes the view of the fact that a conscious strategy can strengthen not only the individual, but also the community as a whole. This realization shows how simple and yet effective generosity can be. ] (https://www.oe24.at/madonna/life/warum-unschenken-gluecklich-macht/616317643)
