Giving of ourselves
ListenGiving of ourselves to help others is a win-win activity. It’s deemed generous, kind, and cooperative. It also increases intimacy, compassion, and self esteem and can make the world a better place in which to live. Dr. Dan Gottlieb talks with Stephen Post and Sue Badeau about the art of giving – as an act of love and caring and as a gift that gives back.
Stephen Post, Ph.D., is the best-selling author of The Hidden Gifts of Helping (2011). He speaks widely on themes of benevolent love and compassionate care at the interface of science, health, spirituality, and philanthropy. His work has been featured in periodicals such as Parade Magazine and O: The Oprah Magazine, and on such media venues as The Daily Show, 20/20 and Nightline.
Sue Badeau is a child welfare consultant. She and her husband Hector share stories of daily life in their in the new book Are We There Yet? The Ultimate Road Trip: Adopting and Raising 22 Kids!
