How does giving benefit individuals both psychologically and physically?
Giving activates brain pleasure centers similar to good food and drugs, reduces stress and blood pressure, and increases lifespan. It also combats depression and anxiety, fostering a sense of community and connection.
Why did Ezra Levant get arrested in Canada, and what does it signify about societal rights?

What is the significance of gratitude in combating societal negativity and fostering generosity?
Gratitude enhances sleep, optimism, and relationships, and it increases generosity by recognizing what one has. Practicing gratitude daily can significantly boost happiness and create a positive feedback loop of giving and gratitude.
