And that brings people more meaning than they expected.

It may not make it easier to pay your bills.

It may not make it easier.

easier to meet some of the challenges you're facing.

But it will give you a taste of sharing that wisdom that Ivana Frosta emphasized.

Exactly.

And like you're talking about giving, you know, we all tend to think about, oh, my church, my rabbi, my priest, my imam wants me to give.

And it's great, it should help other people.

But what people don't realize is the givers help just as much as the givey.

I'm a scientist.

We do these experiments.

I can point you to the papers where they randomly select people like Jonathan who say, I want to be in a study.

And they say, okay, Jonathan, here's $50.

Today you can either spend it on yourself, some people, or other people.

Today you have to spend it on other people.

Guess who's happier at the end of the day?

The people who spend it on other people.
