TED Talks - Do you give back to others

Do you give back to others? We know it’s something we *should* do, but it’s even more powerful than you might think. In her groundbreaking work on generosity and joy, social psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Dunn found that giving to others can not only help them — but giving can also make you feel happier. She explains while donating money is really helpful, it can sometimes feel like we didn't do enough — and the key to unlocking those positive feelings is to understand the true impact your gift will have on the lives of others. "The benefits of giving spike when people felt a real sense of connection with those they were helping and could easily envision the difference they were making in those individuals' lives," says Dunn. So what's her advice? Dunn outlines the three ways to measure the impact of your gift — no calculator required! — and connect on a more personal level with others in your community or abroad!
