Listen to Todays Podcast
If you're just joining us or listening for the first time, let me tell you what we've been doing. Every day in November, I'm doing a short podcast about kindness. I will talk about some kindness facts and give you a kindness challenge.
Do Kind People Make More Money?
Kindness Is Closely Related to Self-Care. Selfless people make more money. They are have more childrenand are happier. Many people believe that selfish individuals have higher incomes, which is not supported by research. Why is this the case?
Selfless individuals prioritize others' happiness over their own. This mindset leads to increased personal happiness and improved job performance. Kindness often results in gaining favor with others, which can lead to better job prospects and professional growth.
The UK Household Longitudinal Study found that altruistic individuals had more children and increased income over time. A similar American study found that top altruists had the most children and highest income over a 14-year period. Two other studies found that moderately prosocial people tended to have the largest incomes.
The study discovered that the most altruistic individuals, comprising 25% of the participants, had the highest income and the most children. Selfless people also had larger income growth.
Kindness has advantages for emotional well-being and financial success, regardless of the reason behind it.
It (Literally) Pays to Be Generous
Generosity is linked to financial success, as generous individuals tend to earn more money and experience faster income growth. Building strong social networks through generosity can create new job opportunities. However, moderate generosity is more effective than extreme giving for financial success. Selfish individuals underestimate the financial benefits of generosity and mistakenly believe that selfishness leads to higher income. Selfishness hinders success, helping others brings personal benefits.
Kindness is Good For Business
Being kind to employees is beneficial for businesses. It improves productivity and efficiency, as well as the well-being of employees by reducing burnout and stress. Kindness also enhances creativity and reduces turnover, contributing to the success of the organization. Building strong connections among employees is important for creating a positive work environment. So, if you want your business to succeed, be nice!
