A Pithy Look At Generosity

Post by Welles »

(From Seth Godin's Blog)

The generosity boomerang

Here's conventional wisdom:

Success makes you happy. Happiness permits you to be generous.

In fact, it actually works like this:

Generosity makes you happy. Happy people are more likely to be successful.

Deconstructing Generosity

Post by Welles »

Seth Godin just published a wonderful little essay called, Deconstructing Generosity. It is a more comprehensive viewpoint than the thread starter but still classically brief. Normally I just post his essays in their entirety but this one is slightly longer than usual and has a number of links that are worth following. So please read the post on his blog directly.
