Daily Meditation – The Psychology of Giving

Ulrich Mayr, a psychology professor at the University of Oregon, has researched and provided conclusions that giving activates the same pleasure centers in the brain as food, shelter, sweets, etc. Furthermore, the effect was even greater when given the opportunity to choose where the money is going and that it is going to a good cause.

Consider the joy of giving both as giver and recipient!
