I recently learned about research behind the “helper’s high” — strong feelings people experience from helping others — and am considering preparing a lesson about it.

I’ve gathered some resources here, and would love for people to make additional suggestions:

The power of givers:They boost autonomy in themselves and others & send ripples of kindness across an organization. is from Research Digest.
