They'll show you all of these studies and all of these benefits. And listen, it's beautiful. But they're actually your body. The hormone levels change. The dopamine levels change. Oxycodone is released in the body when you're generous. So you actually are healthier now. when you're a generous person. So all of these things lead you to being a more generous person by helping others.

And knowing that is just a wise thing. It's not a selfish thing. I see generosity as a win. When you're authentically generous with somebody with no expectations from them, they win. There's no doubt about that. That's simple. But There are many studies that say when you're generous with somebody like that, they're much more likely to be generous with other people. It creates a ripple effect.

So the world is actually a better place when you're generous with somebody. If all of these things add up to you being more generous, then it's a win. The person you're giving to wins, the world wins, and you win. And that's why I believe it's a superpower. That's why I believe that generosity wins. And I'll tell you another thing.

There's nothing as beautiful as going through life and creating success for yourself by helping others with no expectation, because in the end, You look back and you're just as proud. You're proud of what you did, but you're even more proud of how you did it. And there's a great happiness. There's a great joy that comes from being proud of how you lived.

This goes back to our discussion about, is it selfish to be generous to create your success? And I will tell you that I believe there is a tremendous return on generosity. The ROI, the return on investment for generosity, may be higher than any other human behavior that you can put in place. Now, you do not expect return from who you're being generous with, right?

No exchange or return from who you're being generous with, or the group that you're being generous with, or the bathroom that you cleaned when you walked out. There is no return from the individual, but life gives you a tremendous return on your investment of generosity. There's a lot of philosophers that will talk about it. You can do research on karma.

You can research the science of generosity and how it returns, how it affects you positively. But there is a tremendous return on investment. So the answer is it's not intuitive, right? Because you're right. You don't expect anything from whom you are generous with. But... You do know that by being generous, it's going to come back to you in exponential form.

There's a couple that are really important. The first one is that generosity is about giving money. Gabe, giving money is a very minor component of generosity. I sat in a room with a Buddhist, a Tibetan Buddhist monk last week, and I was listening to him talk about the wisdom of the monks. And one of the things he said just absolutely blew my mind.

He stopped and then he looked at the room and he said, even the smallest act of generosity when done with the right intent, can be tremendously powerful. And I thought, how cool is that?

It reminded me of a story that I read in the New York Times about a police officer in San Francisco whose sole job was following up on suicides off of the Golden Gate Bridge, people who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge. He went to the bedroom of a young man, 26 years old, and on his dresser, there was a suicide note. And basically the note said, nobody cares about me. Nobody sees me.
