Two months later, we found that people who were given this values recall intervention, this reflection task, were twice as likely to have a job than people in our control condition. In fact, the effect was so strong, we stopped the study and gave everybody the values reflection intervention. Now, what's going on there?

It's not just generosity financially, it's generosity in spirit and in thought, being generous in trying to give people the best interpretation for their behavior, trying to contextualize why someone did something, giving people the benefit of the doubt. My second important thing is what I call positive energy, optimism, humor, good-naturedness. Another value of mine is creativity.

How I want to always be striving to be better at everything I do.

Every time I do a podcast, I want to do it better the next time, for example. Then you can start to think about why do those values matters so much to me. Well, I want to always be improving. I love creative solutions. I love humor. Every birthday, I go see stand-up comedy. It's really important to me.
