from The Habit Healers · host Laurie Marbas, MD, MBA and Jud Brewer MD PhD
In this episode of the Habit Healers podcast, Dr. Laurie welcomes Dr. Jud Brewer to discuss his Substack article, "The Generosity Paradox." Dr. Brewer explores the complexities of generosity, emphasizing that it is not as straightforward as many believe. He delves into the emotional aspects tied to giving, such as guilt and giver's remorse, and highlights that generosity encompasses more than just monetary donations. The conversation introduces three different types of generosity, starting with the "transactional loop," where giving is linked to an expectation of receiving something in return. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion that unpacks the deeper components of generosity and its impact on our lives.Link to Dr. Jud's article: https://judbrewer.substack.com/p/the-generosity-paradox-why-your-brainDr. Marbas Substack: https://drlauriemarbas.substack.com/A Big Thank You To Our Sponsors:If you want the best supplement to help you on your plant-based journey, you have to try Complement: https://lovecomplement.com/?aff=62 Get full access to The Habit Healers at drlauriemarbas.substack.com/subscribe
