Giving is not a new topic to ZEN commuter, not by a long shot.  How I am tackling it today though is.  In the past I have talked about how it makes you feel good, has you living longer, etc.  And these things are all absolutely true.  But why does it make you feel good?  Today I present a great article by the Wall Street Journal that gets to heart of giving from a biological stance.

It talks about a variety of studies that contradict what many people used to think, that giving goes against our nature.  Many of the scientists offer a variety of studies that tell most emphatically that the brain thrives on donating.

 

In this Episode, You Will Learn:

• Three theories of the selfishness of man
• How your brain activates when it gives
• Why the brain sees giving a survival instinct
