    GIVERS make GREAT MENTORS

    Why do Givers make Great Mentors?

    In his book Give and Take wherein Adam Grant has inspired us to give more, he highlights the reason that make givers great mentors.

  • PRONOIA for JOY of GIVING

    PRONOIA for JOY of GIVING

    Why is Pronoia a prerequisite for Joy of Giving?

    The world needs more of givers as opposed to takers as mentioned by Adam Grant in his book Give and Take. In this blog post I will mention the need of pronoia as a prerequisite for joy of giving.

    Pronoia is an extreme and an opposite of paranoia.

    Givers experience this delusion in their mind thinking that others would be plotting for their well being.

    This in turn inspires them to give and experience the joy.
