Why Generosity is Better Than Medicine

What if the key to better health wasn't something you take, but something you give away? It may sound counterintuitive, but science keeps pointing to the same conclusion: generous people are healthier and happier than those who hold on to everything.

In this video, we explore what researchers have discovered about the biology of giving. From toddler experiments to brain scans of extreme altruists, the findings may challenge everything you assume about self-interest. We cover how generosity can lower blood pressure as effectively as medication, and what's actually happening in your brain when you help someone else.

Fair warning: not all giving is created equal. We also cover why some forms of generosity backfire, and what makes the difference between giving that lifts you up and giving that drains you.
