Give and Be Happy

     It has always been my thought that we should try to help others as much as possible. I don't remember ever saying what one gives comes back, but I certainly have experienced that. Good things do happen. Recently, I read an article in the NYT about Adam Grant, a professor at the Wharton School of Business. Grant states that helping others gives you a good feeling, thus making you more satisfied with your job and actually your whole life. We all know, Grant states, that there are Givers, Matchers, and Takers. Being a Giver makes us feel good. The article states that Grant practically never says no to anyone. He has a new book out titled GIVE AND TAKE. Grant connected to me. Does he connect with you or do you think it is all "hog wash"?
