Episode 35: Generosity

This week on The Living Experiment, we're talking about Generosity —  the instinct we have to share with others, and the mutual benefits that giving can confer, not just mentally and emotionally but also at the physiological level. From the surge of feel-good compounds our bodies release in response to generous acts, to the value of giving others the benefit of the doubt, we explore the ways that generosity serves both giver and recipient. We also consider the ways that giving more than you can share joyfully tends backfire, creating anger, resentment and regret. Finally, we offer some experiments to help you explore your own generous impulses and refine them in ways that work for you. Get full show notes at ‎ ‎http://livingexperiment.com/generosity/
