I absolutely love this insight, Juan Pablo Zuluaga—especially as someone in the nonprofit sector! (The Franklin Food Bank / Hogares Bambi Bogotá) Beyond the compelling statistics and financial benefits, I’ve witnessed firsthand that our volunteers and donors walk away happier, more fulfilled, and deeply connected to the causes they support and that resonate with their values. It’s about the numbers, but it’s also about the "emotional bonus” they carry home, knowing they’ve made a real difference. There’s something truly powerful about aligning your values with action. Generosity doesn’t just uplift others; it enriches your own life in ways that go far beyond what you give. I’m honored to share this with my network! #ThePowerOfGiving #GenerosityIsSuccess #EmotionalWealth #NonprofitLeadership #MakeADifference #ValuesInAction #GiveAndGrow #BetterTogether #Nonprofit ______________________________________________________________ I came across a FASCINATING study in this book I’m reading… It says something we might already suspect: Generous people are much more successful. But what really struck me was this: Economist Arthur Brooks found that the impact generosity has on income is far greater than the impact income has on generosity. For every additional dollar someone earns, their donation increases by 14%. But for every dollar you give, your income rises by $3.75—a 375% increase! The author’s conclusion is powerful: Giving feels better, does more for you, and generates greater long-term returns than receiving ever could. As Tony Robbins wisely says, “The secret to living is giving.” It’s absolutely worth being generous!
Me encontré un estudio FASCINANTE en este libro que estoy leyendo... Dice lo siguiente 👇 La gente generosa es mucho más exitosa. Eso de pronto lo podemos intuir. Pero va lo que realmente me impactó: El economista Arthur Brooks encontró que el efecto que tiene la generosidad en el ingreso es mucho mayor que el efecto que tiene el ingreso en la generosidad. Por cada dólar adicional que la gente se gana, la donación sube el 14%. Pero por cada dólar que donas, el ingreso sube 3.75 dólares. Es decir, el ingreso aumenta un 375% !!!! La conclusión del autor sobre este estudio es contundente: Dar se siente mejor, hace más por tí, y genera mayores retornos en el largo plazo que lo que recibir puede llegarte a generar. Dice sabiamente Tony Robbins que “el secreto de vivir está en dar“. Vale la pena ser generoso ¡A seguir aprendiendo!
