4 surprising benefits of kindness

We all like to think of ourselves as kind. However, actually giving to others isn't always natural and can feel wrong when we work so hard for what we have. We love to find ways to save time and do more to help others whilst having good things come back to us. This episode explains some ideas and benefits for a framework that makes giving much easier and without any surprises costing time or money you don't have. - - - Connect with Sam: Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking  Watch the pod - YouTube - Growth Mindset Twitter - @samjamharris Instagram - @SamJam.zen - - - Chapters 00:00 What are Charity Budgets 01:24 Increasing happiness 02:45 Cultivating kindness 03:40 Walking the walk 04:30 Be more impressive 05:25 Things come back around 06:16 What budget to set? 07:22 Climate 09:28 Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

Om Podcasten

There are a lot of opinions on how to master your mind, but then there’s PSYCHOLOGY. We’re all stuck with the brain we’re born with, but we aren’t stuck with how we use it. Learn science-backed answers to make the most of your mind and your life. CURIOUS? Growth Mindset Psychology is the "self-help sceptic" podcast for the curious. Whether you want to improve performance, navigate setbacks, or know who you are. We find answers to the true science of self-improvement. So put down the astrology chart and start working with your mind, instead of against it. With over 8 million downloads and 60,000 monthly listeners, you’re invited to join. PROCESS Instead of telling you what to think, we discuss how thinking works. Armed with a stack of science journals, textbooks and a boatload of curiosity, we uncover the mechanics of the mind. Why? >>> Success is personal! You might want to make the most of your neurodiverse strengths, start a business, or simply find more reasons to smile. Hone your ability for independent thinking and growth with mental models to pursue your definition of success. HOST I’m Sam Webster Harris, a lifelong learner with ADHD, a raging curiosity, and an obsession with finding answers to hard questions. After launching several businesses, travelling the world and nearly dying a few times I concluded that science and Psychology are where it’s at. What actually makes people happy? What’s the best way to treat a brain? How can I get more done? Studying the answers we find that changing behaviours requires building mindsets, mental models, and a healthy relationship with failure.
