The Hidden Gifts of Helping [PDF ebook] 
How the Power of Giving, Compassion, and Hope Can Get Us Through Hard Times

The world’s religions affirm it to be so and recent research across
a number of disciplines tell us that ‘Helping others not only
benefits those we assist but is good for us as well.’ The recent
and astonishingly generous outpouring of help and donations in
response to the earthquake in Haiti is a clear demonstration of
this phenomenon, but what if we could be convinced to make helping
others a way of life, even when times are hard?

* The author is a leader in the study of altruism, compassion,

the unshakable feeling that the world is an essentially good
place.
