- Research shows that helping others makes us happier. But in her groundbreaking work on generosity and joy, social psychologist Elizabeth Dunn found that there's a catch: it matters how we help. Learn how we can make a greater impact -- and boost our own happiness along the way -- if we make one key shift in how we help others. "Let's stop thinking about giving as just this moral obligation and start thinking of it as a source of pleasure," Dunn says.

I came here to learn English and ended up learning a life long lesson.
I came here to procrastinate and ended up learning something too, and still continued to procrastinate doing that
me too
She was my professor at UBC and I would honestly look forward to every single lecture, she's so well spoken, and intelligent. This is the sort of information that needs to be spread :)
That must have bee amazing having a professor who is a TEDxtalks speaker as well.😍
*_We feel so good when we give because we get what researchers call a “helpers high”_*
Free Julian Assange!
But in Philippines Canada gives us disrespect by dumping their garbages to us. Yet, for almost 5 years now we do give them patience, humility and self-control for their inhuman deeds to us!
How could she herald her country who dumps their garbages to us for almost 5 years now?!?!?! And without taking an action of responsibility out of it?!?!?! 💔😢💔😢💔
This is the type of information people of this generation need to hear. 💕 Thank you TH-cam algorithm for this recommendation I really needed it . 😂😩🙋♀️
TH-cam's happy on giving you the right recommendation.
Just watching the talk I felt this sense of deep happiness... beautiful, thank you.
*The more valuable someone becomes to their fellow human beings, the more closer that person is to self realization!*
such generic BS
@@BawsMode You can say that when everyone starts living that everyday
I don't know if I buy that. There are a lot of people who love using people also and they'llll just see you as a resource to be used and abused then discarded.
@@twn5858 I agree! But there definitely comes a time when you can easily recognize such people from a mile away. Thus you avoid them. Not everyone's worth helping!
*Virtue and empathy is the only way to salvation, alleviating pain and experiencing life to the fullest.*
Helping other, the universal consciousness becomes more expanded, creating a positive chain.
I couldnt agree more. You're a Stoic, yes?
Memento Mori
I've learned that if you sow generosity you'll reap it when you least expect it. I'm still speechless 😭🥰 words can't express how I feel
Adults need just as much help and guidance as children do.
I'd.say even more than children. 😚
@@TheAleksandros Yeah it's ironic, as children we are broken by broken adults that we end up with more problems in adulthood.
Depending on the person to be fair
It's people. People need as much help and guidance as possible.
And adults always bash the young ones for everything and thinking we are nothing and worthless knowing damn well they need help
Sharing is caring~ Canada should be proud of themselves for this. My country could learn a lot from you in that aspect. I am grateful for this lady. Thanks for showin us the video of the kid learning to bike. It's moments like these that remind us that we all arent so different from one another and should learn from each other. I recently was in a dark place. I am tired of feelin frustrated with this world. Tired of losin myself to politics cuz all our leaders do is divide us into "us vs them". I am tired of watchin the world hate each other and havin to yell at them. And the only thought that recently filled my heart with peace was "I wanna make others happy". I dont know how. But i know i am too dead inside to get hurt by words anymore. So i wanna jump over my pride and try be there for others instead of feelin miserable any further. It doesn't matter we dont get that same understanding back. I am used to it anyway lol. So there is technically nothing standing in my way aside pride. I am not rich tho... so gotta find a different way to make folks happy. I am glad tho. Lately that thought is what managed to put my heart to peace. I am sure many of us feel the same way. In an "eat or get eaten" world, it's not easy to give all the time. But it's the only thing that will make personal happiness for oneself and others feel easier. Hope everyone has a nice day and good food at home 🍕
this was an amazing TED talk. the speaker sounds like such a fun person to be around and she just sounds like a genuinely good person ❤️
One way of making a change is by making connection with others.
Gotta have limits and boundaries when helping since most are takers
I really admire that Canadians follow this philosophy of doing good to be happy!
*Helping others feels good but not only that it is also contagious*
when someone helps me or does something for me or a random act of kindness I feel like giving/doing good for others to give that same feeling.
I enjoy Doing so with no expectations with anything in return not even a thank you. 💪
@@Henry-qs5td thanks🙏💪

@@mylenmondigo7223 Instead of crying or complaining about it, try figure out solutions or actions you could take to help your own country.
I realize i have no more hope in thsi world but i want to give to others to make them happy and myself happy again
Same buddy... it's the one thing that managed to give me peace recently. I just want everyone to be happy. You too. Ya deserve it. Hope ya have a nice day🙏
Were are those good people
Love your positivity and message to restore the faith in humanity. When we focus on helping others, we take the focus off of our own self and to understand that others are struggling with more than we are. We can impact others and connect in a human way of giving.
I am so compelled to give and spread my happiness, joy and gratitude. I cannot thank God enough for my beautiful friends and the incredible blessings.
She brings me new inspiration to make something different in my life. Thanks to her. God bless her.
I'm so grateful I was able to watch this video that I know will make a real difference in how I help people
Seemed like another, "I have the most interesting job ever" speech, but ended up being deeply profound. Thanks TED for a proper title!
So in short, the more concrete the result of your helping that you can see, the more joy you will derive from it.
Giving is the best comunication....
Nice wored
This is literally the BEST TEDX I've ever watch and I've seen ALOT of em and they're all inspiring but this one takes the cake and gets my vote for the most heart touching story so thank u and many blessings to those who give and receive spreading love and joy in this world, wut the world was created for!! So Awesome!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
really kindness and generosity work out and I hope with watching this video people around the world put it as their priority to help each other and make the world a better place to live
This small difference in the way of perceiving helps much more than one can expect
I don't give money to "charity". I put it right in the hands of those who need it. I've given rides, to those who have no cars. Blankets, pillows to those who have nothing to sleep on. Food to those who are hungry. I see them face to face. This gives me immense Joy. I don't trust these big "charities", but I KNOW what I personally do. I learned it from my Mother. NEVER pass a person in need without trying to help. My 74 year old Mom just did it again this morning, gave someone a ride an hour out of her way so they could catch a bus six hours sooner. Her only regret !?! She had no cash on her. He was limping she told me as she cried, dragging a huge canvas bag full of his belongings. 😢
That's what the video was talking about.
@@landonny
Really !?! 😉
This made me cry. It was wonderful!
I've been telling friends and family for years that volunteer work can give them temporary or even long-lasting relief from various mental issues like anxiety and depression. When I suffered a loss years ago, one of my first real steps to recovery after that loss was my volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity. It wasn't volunteering for that specific organization that helped me to begin my recovery, but the real human connections I created during my time working with them. I hope you manage to get the data from your happiness related research out there for more people. My personal experience tells me that helping others can increase one's short term and long term personal well-being whilst and at the same time improving the well-being of the world. :)
I was almost moved to tears.
This is Beautiful. I’m proud to live in the U.K. & proud we will be helping refugees in a similar way without the negative mindset that is often paired with receiving refugees.
Giving is not just money but time and wisdom is another thing that will give you the same feeling. But your right you have to see the reaction.
This is what we should live for: helping others and making a difference. Thanks for sharing.
The Group of Five Program sounds like a wonderful program. I love Canada! Giving gives us a sense of purpose. Thank you so much!
This story is beautiful!
Canada keeping up the reputation of being awesome, I see.
I totally agree. Canada is such a welcoming country to immigrants! Giving makes us happier!
She reminds me of Sue Heck from The Middle
Amazing talk, valuable lessons!
This phrase resumes everything "We have evolved to find joy helping others"
Just do it!
thank you very much, that's what the world needs more of
*Puts money in tip jar*
Person doesn’t see it so you don’t get a “Thanks!”
*Puts money in again so they see it*
Finally happy
Fiesty Banana thanks for the summary
I see what you did there... but the point is that they all end up actually happy.
Dude.. impressed, youpressed me. Apologies for being too bananas about this
James, what a great idea putting money in a tip jar. You can also collect coins at home and donate it when it's full.
I am watchign this as my Psyc 308 lecture from Dr. Dunn and this is the best lecture i have heard!
Thanks so much for your sharing and your speech are very well said which has taught me a lifelong lesson in it. One way of making a change is by making connections with others.
Just listening to her makes you happy!
THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS!
Well done thank you for this amazing show and wonderful ideas about helping people alot of our brothers are struggling in Africa as a refugeea and maybe we' could help them . That's how we can make big different for them ane make change to the world
Outstanding
Amazing job being done by people around the world which goes unknown however even it makes difference in once life, that’s better than any publicity
I absolutely love this TED talk
She is amazing!!!
I do believe that every township should pull in all of their citizens to be triumphant against any kind of hardship, mental, physical, acceptance, and confidence in your people.
This would knock down many criticism, or would you like the government to do it for you.( China?). And so many others, it'll be only a matter of time.
Unless you are ready to strip off all of your hate, and instead use the opposite, Love.
Under One. ❤
Such a great talk! Always love Ted talks and especially ones like this!
giving is blessing
It doesn't have to be money, nor should giving be perpetuated towards organizations rather than individuals.
Definitely, you can give your time and your energy, doesn't have to be money. An organization or an individual you care deeply about.
If your here, it’s because your searched it. For that I’d like to know you.
This is brilliant
I was an altruist once. It is my experience that the ones that truly deserve help don't truly need it and vice versa. 90% of people in the world don't have the mental capacity to utilize their opportunities, they would much rather engage in low activities than use the internet to teach themselves useful skills they can monetize. And they would much rather listen to other fools than to the wise. No use helping them! Help yourself first, and then the few others in your support network (notice I didn't necessarily write "family"). I can't tell you how often I've seen people that were constantly out of cash, and the week after that they have gotten money from somewhere and immediately they spend how many grand on a powerful car.
@youknowkbbaby Absolutely. I have skills and experience as both a visual artist and a translator, but AI has changed many industries significantly. I'm constantly learning new skills.
Best talk ever ..God bless you ❤
Personality is a big key also
I just came here to see an english presentation for study but now I found the today's To do list -Find the worthwhile donation group for the first time in my life. -
I finaaly found the source for happiness after watching this.
Probably the best ted video I'd ever seen :D
SO WHO WANTS TO HELP ME ?
amazing speech ,
I don’t understand... there’s so many homeless people in San Diego and Kia Angeles... innocent people in jail and prison....
But it doesnt look as good as helping refugees...duh. help a white homeless family...how ya gonna get them likes??
This is what Jesus teach 2000 years ago.
It is better to give than to receive.
I wish Japan (the country im living) have this kind of program..
Awesome. Professional advice based on data, from a great psychologist.
I'm happy just cutting a check.
WOW， CANADA IS AN AMAZING COUNTRY!!
This is me :) # Same Story # really nice talk # Looking forward 4 d new videos # Love ❤ from India ❤

How could she herald her country who dumps their garbages to us for almost 5 years now?!?!?! And without taking an action of responsibility out of it?!?!?! 💔😢💔😢💔
If the world had no wars and no negative energy and everyone stared actually loving and respecting one another as humans we could actually live in peace, no one likes bad things you just gotta turn that bad energy into something positive, anyone can actually do anything if you put energy into it, it might take time and we have a lot of time and sadly some don't. Everyone worrys about money because the government had made it the most important thing in this world except peoples love.
UBC Prof!!
I have recently been through a breakup so helping others gives value to my life and makes me feel happier knowing I have helped someone in a similar or worse situation than me. Its making a bad situation good again :) I made my first video today
whats the benefit of being happy
Awesome Canadian program! Congratulations.
thank you
In Islam it is mandatory for a person (who can afford) to give charity and help the community
esto me encanta
I have a problem with people that are ALWAYS happy.
I mean, they DO live on planet Earth, right?
The title of the video is so right. Yes being able to help others brings joy to your life
But what about people who only feel happiness by doing bad things to others?
Can we conclude that those individuals have a mental disorder?
Good Orderly Direction 👏 ask 4 help , u might get it .
Who else is watching this for school
yep
1.25x speed gives me joy
Great video on how to help others!
Can you make me happy? 😢
Giving should not be motivated by the belief that it will make YOU feel good. You give so that OTHERS can experience that good. As Jesus taught: It is better to give, than to receive.
my god I saw this video last year when it first came out and now she's my professor. Weeeeeeiird, but awesome
Law of attraction
She is so bubbly.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
You are the best
I love giving money and sharing what I got with everyone, I've given tens of thousands in food gas entertainment and filled up gas tanks but I stopped because these people don't even say thank you and hide when they get money, how is that fair to me? I'm never petty or stingy I love being able to give if I was rich id give cars and houses but these so call friends won't even give me a dollar. I do favor after favor and don't want nothing but at least a thank you. I'm done because I've learned that people are so ungrateful. I don't deserve this. So I'm done for good reason. People will burrows tools and get offended when I ask for them back so I let them keep it I do as much as I can and get disrespected. I'm done.
It happend the same to me
Well Covered Contant
amazing.
I can’t help but feel bad for the homeless citizens within her own country
This is very mixed. Not only does it matter how we do it, but matters whether what we're trying to help is willing and able.
Need an example? Look at Afghanistan, African communities and nations, etc. Received so much aid, but later on turned back into square one.
Same can be applied in our society. There are addicts that are in constant need of help and wanting to get better. And there are those that take advantage of the aid presented to them.
So in conclusion, it really depends whom you're helping in question.
Indeed. 😊💓
ta muy bueno el video
jajaj
No lo está
giọng hay quá ạ
Good talk, and the thesis may be true. But when it came to the data was dissapointed. Just 6 and seven datapoints respectively doesnt justify making this big of A claim
If that’s true how come I don’t feel happy at all helping others
When I was a Toddler, I began to hate the word 'charity' why not call it 'a broad gift' or 'gift'?
If I find a $10 dollar bill in street corner I feel happy. But if someone donates $10 to me I don't feel as happy. Instead I'll ask why.
If I donate $10 helping a refugee I don't feel happy, knowing there's still 1 million starving refugees out there. But if I see refugees working to make their own lives, their own societies, and their own countries successful, I'll feel tremendous happiness.
