Ep. 3 Generosity really does bring joy with Sam Malins
Shownotes
In our third episode of Active Generosity, Sam Malins, a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the NHS and Honorary Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham, reveals fascinating insights into the science that shows generosity really can make us happier. In particular, he discusses findings from a series of research studies that tackles the question 'How much happiness can $2m dollars buy?' Sam also shares on how his faith has grown his generosity over the years.
Sam's favourite Bible verse on generosity:
"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." Matthew 6:20 (NIV)
