Episode 3031: Charlie Brown reflects on a chance encounter in Porto that turned a simple run into a meditation on trust, generosity, and human nature. Through humor, vulnerability, and personal stories, he explores why we instinctively question kindness even though science and experience both suggest generosity makes us happier, healthier, and more connected. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/spread-the-ripple/if-kindness-and-generosity-is-so-good-for-us-why-are-we-so-suspicious-of-it-63328da00af4 Quotes to ponder: “Why are we always so suspicious of the kindness of strangers?” “To be generous is to be human. We crave it. It nurtures us.” “When you’re generous, you’re happier. There’s even evidence to suggest you’re healthier too because giving to others lowers your stress levels.” Episode references: Free Hugs Campaign: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Hugs_Campaign New York City Marathon: https://www.nyrr.org/tcsnycmarathon Silence of the Lambs: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102926/ Learn more about your ad choices.
