WHY IT FEELS
GOOD TO GIVE
Presented by Adam Gant

Day in and day out, humans mostly focus on themselves. Whether it’s
how much money they’re making or how they can make themselves
happy, more often than not, their days are spent selfishly. When people
break that norm and choose to dedicate their time to give back, they
find that the act of giving others happiness makes them feel fulfilled.
Read on to learn why giving back just feels so good.
INTRODUCTION

3. Finding a cause to give back to is one of the best ways to discover
something outside of work that one is passionate about. While altruistic, it
also helps point people to work towards something bigger than
themselves. For example, someone may have a job working in marketing,
but partnering with a local charity outside of work is a way to tap into
their passion for helping others.

4. Whether someone is giving their time reading to local children or donating money to an
organization, giving back just does something uplifting to the soul. It empowers the human spirit to
see others encouraged and uplifted. With all the negativity in the world, finding a way to help
others is essential for staying grounded and positive.

THE SOUL

5. Sometimes it just feels good to give because people in need
really need something good to happen to them. Most people
never realize how truly fortunate they are or how much they
have compared to others. By taking the time to recognize one’s
blessings and give back to those that aren’t in the same
situation, one will see just how grateful others are for their gift.

REALLY DESERVE
SOMETHING GOOD
Important Reminders

6. In life, so many people are on the hunt for
happiness. By focusing one’s life on giving
back, positivity and happiness are sure to
follow. By doing good for others and the
world, those that donate their time and
money will automatically have a more
positive outlook on life. Regardless of how
much one does for themselves, it doesn’t
have the same effect as being able to support
others. As social creatures, humans
inherently find happiness in the happiness of
others.
When giving back, one learns that there is far
more to happiness than making money and
climbing the corporate ladder. Taking a
moment out of the solitary lives most people
lead to help a stranger will work to change
the lives of both people for the better.
