Serving Others is a Powerful Pathway to Personal Growth

In today’s fast moving world, many of us do not feel connected to our communities and yearn for rewarding work.  Giving back and serving others is one way to make us feel more connected and allow us to make a real difference in someone’s life.  

As the author of The Hidden Gifts of Helping, and professor of preventative medicine at Stony Brook University, Stephen G. Post says a part of our brain lights up when we help others and sends out feel-good chemicals like dopamine, and possibly serotonin. Post explains, "These chemicals help us feel joy and delight -- helper's high.”  Common reactions include feelings of tranquility, peacefulness, serenity as well as a sense of trust and warmth.   

Throughout time great thinkers and religious leaders have praised the merits of help others.  In addition evidence-based research has found that “giving is a powerful pathway to personal growth and lasting happiness.”  Studies also show that it is not so much about how much we give, but whether we give it with love.
