Giving back to the community promotes fulfillment from "summary" of The Little Book of Lykke by Meik Wiking
One key to happiness is giving back to others. When we volunteer our time, skills, or resources to help those in need, we not only make a positive impact on the community but also experience a sense of fulfillment. This act of giving back can provide us with a deep sense of purpose and satisfaction that is hard to find elsewhere. Research has shown that helping others can boost our own well-being. When we engage in charitable activities, our brains release chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin, which are associated with feelings of happiness and connection. By giving back, we not only improve the lives of those we help but also enhance our own mental and emotional health. Moreover, contributing to the community can strengthen our social bonds and relationships. When we work together with others towards a common goal, we create a sense of unity and solidarity. This shared purpose can lead to deeper connections with our peers and neighbors, fostering a sense of belonging and support. In addition, giving back to the community can broaden our perspective and increase our empathy. By interacting with people from different backgrounds and experiences, we develop a greater understanding of the world around us. This exposure can challenge our assumptions and biases, leading to personal growth and a more compassionate outlook on life.- When we give back to the community, we not only help others but also help ourselves. The act of contributing to the well-being of others can bring us joy, purpose, and connection. By making a positive impact on the world around us, we can find fulfillment and create a more harmonious society for everyone.
