We typically choose to be giving because we want to help others. But you are, in fact, the real benefactor of your generosity. As you give, you also receive. When you are generous, loving, and kind you are the one who receives the gifts of your loving, kind, and generous heart. In this episode Matt interviews Dr. Stephen Post, whose books have received acclaim from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Deepak Chopra. Stephen and Matt talk about his book on giving called When Good Things Happen to Good People, a book that emphasizes the positive impact of acts of kindness and generosity on one's own well-being. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Why giving is good for us Goodness in the heart of a child How we can apply compassion and kindness to our everyday life The importance of winning with love Considering your adversaries as your friends [02:24] The Value of Giving In the realm of giving, it's not enough to simply perform an action. Scientific evidence has shown that the level of empathy and care infused into the act is paramount. It's not about the quantity of the donation, but rather the quality of compassion and kindness put into it. This approach yields numerous benefits for all individuals, regardless of age or background. It's particularly advantageous for those experiencing certain medical conditions. As such, it's crucial to remain mindful of this principle and impart its value to younger generations. [07:37] Goodness in the Heart of a Child Children possess a pure and innate goodness, but often this quality is overshadowed by external factors. To cultivate this trait within families, it's important to establish a support system that includes positive role models and clear family values. Encouragement and opportunities for volunteering can also be instrumental in fostering altruistic behavior from adolescence throughout the entire lifespan. Despite common negative cultural beliefs that humans are inherently selfish, recent scientific research has shown that kindness and love have numerous benefits. Scientists are now dedicating their work towards exploring the many forms of love, which is producing promising results. [21:43] The Importance of Winning with Love Life presents us with many obstacles, and our responsibility is to continue growing as individuals. It's crucial to persevere with love despite any difficulties that may arise and resist the temptation of getting caught up in negativity. Although this can be challenging, it's important to approach life with a love-filled attitude and not let external factors bring us down. While suffering may be present, it's often linked to our attachment to certain things or circumstances. Notable quotes: [02:37] It's not how much you give, but how much kindness you put into the giving that matters. [02:42] [07:37] There's a lot of goodness in the heart of a child. The problem is that we push the wrong buttons. [07:43] [21:50] Our job is to stick with love, if we can, no matter what, and not allow ourselves to get sucked down into this negative, seething boiling cauldron, which is easy to do.

Post has been spreading the science of giving and the commitment to the greater good. He has promoted the idea of “give and live better” across the globe.

How do we approach a "deeply forgetful" loved one so as to notice and affirm their continuing self-identity? For three decades, Stephen G. Post has worked around the world encouraging caregivers to become more aware of--and find renewed hope in--surprising expressions of selfhood despite the challenges of cognitive decline. In Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People: How Caregivers Can Meet the Challenges of Alzheimer's Disease (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2022), Post offers new perspectives on the worth and dignity of people with Alzheimer's and related disorders despite the negative influence of "hypercognitive" values that place an ethically unacceptable emphasis on human dignity as based on linear rationality and strength of memory. This bias, Post argues, is responsible for the abusive exclusion of this population from our shared humanity. With vignettes and narratives, he argues for a deeper dignity grounded in consciousness, emotional presence, creativity, interdependence, music, and a self that is not "gone" but "differently abled." Post covers key practical topics such as: - understanding the experience of dementia - noticing subtle expressions of continuing selfhood, including "paradoxical lucidity" - perspectives on ethical quandaries from diagnosis to terminal care and everything in between, as gleaned from the voices of caregivers - how to communicate optimally and use language effectively - the value of art, poetry, symbols, personalized music, and nature in revealing self-identity - the value of trained "dementia companion" dogs At a time when medical advances to cure these conditions are still out of reach and the most recent drugs have shown limited effectiveness, Post argues that focusing discussion and resources on the relational dignity of these individuals and the respite needs of their caregivers is vital. Grounding ethics on the equal worth of all conscious human beings, he provides a cautionary perspective on preemptive assisted suicide based on cases that he has witnessed. He affirms vulnerability and interdependence as the core of the human condition and celebrates caregivers as advocates seeking social and economic justice in an American system where they and their loved ones receive only leftover scraps. Racially inclusive and grounded in diversity, Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People also includes a workshop appendix focused on communication and connection, "A Caregiver Resilience Program," by Rev. Dr. Jade C. Angelica. Stephen G. Post is the director of the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care, and Bioethics at the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University.

Dr. Jade C. Angelica to enhance the quality of life for deeply forgetful people, reduce stress and increase confidence for caregivers, and inspire a hopeful attitude for all.

What navigates your internal moral compass? Do you subscribe to a religion or belief in supernatural power to guide you? Or do you allow innate love, compassion, and empathy to steer you toward a better earthly experience for all? To examine the moral weight of religious obedience, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two professors about their books that address the virtues of love and morality. Prolific author Dr. Stephen G. Post discusses the virtue of love and unpacks the Eight Pathways of Positive Achievement and Goodness from his book, Give and Live Better . Executive Director of the Humanist Global Charity, Phil Zuckerman explains the virtue of morality and the research behind his book, What it Means to be Moral: Why Religion is Not Necessary for Living an Ethical Life .

For caregivers of deeply forgetful people: a book that combines new ethics guidelines with an innovative program on how to communicate and connect with people with Alzheimer's. How do we approach a "deeply forgetful" loved one so as to notice and affirm their continuing self-identity? For three decades, Stephen G. Post has worked around the world encouraging caregivers to become more aware of―and find renewed hope in―surprising expressions of selfhood despite the challenges of cognitive decline. In this book, Post offers new perspectives on the worth and dignity of people with Alzheimer's and related disorders despite the negative influence of "hypercognitive" values that place an ethically unacceptable emphasis on human dignity as based on linear rationality and strength of memory. This bias, Post argues, is responsible for the abusive exclusion of this population from our shared humanity. With vignettes and narratives, he argues for a deeper dignity grounded in consciousness, emotional presence, creativity, interdependence, music, and a self that is not "gone" but "differently abled." He affirms vulnerability and interdependence as the core of the human condition and celebrates caregivers as advocates seeking social and economic justice in an unjust American system.

Dreams, miracles, synchronicity, and a spiritual journey. This book is for dreamers and questers of any spirituality who are looking for positive meaning and purpose in life. On the road, we can find God, redemption, forgiveness, and the understanding that we are all connected. There are no coincidences in this world. Once every generation comes a book so revelatory and lucid, it reconnects us to our very souls. Stephen G. Post's God and Love on Route 80 is such a book. Post, lead author of the bestselling When Good Things Happen to Good People, was the perfect child and A-student until he took off in the family car, compelled by a persistent vision, his “blue angel dream.” Crossing America on Route 80, his unlikely adventure culminates in a shocking encounter that sets the stage for the rest of his life, a path connected by synchronicities which Post perceived as guidance from God and proof of humanity's fundamental oneness, Infinite Mind. Truly a story for the ages, God and Love on Route 80 touches on the essential meaning of life and the messages we may all miss unless we begin paying close attention. Readers inspired by modern classics such as Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle, Peace Like a River, Becoming Supernatural, or When God Winks at You, will love God and Love on Route 80.

“Sometimes things happen that reveal an apparent pattern, plan, and meaning to the workings of the world. When this revelation occurs, it's as if the Universe winks at us to say, ‘now you're in on the secret!' The ‘secret' is the realization that an infinite, unitary intelligence pervades everything--what author Stephen G Post calls infinite Mind…and that love is a kind of metaphysical glue that holds things together and provides a delightful fizz to the whole show.” writes Dr. Larry Dossey, MD. My guest helps us understand the importance of synchronicity in our lives and how to recognize it; the importance of love, kindness, and generosity; and the hidden mystery of human connectedness. He prescribes volunteering for health, happiness, resilience, and longevity based on research showing volunteering lowers levels of inflammation, cholesterol, and the body mass index, and helps those with mental health issues such as depression and schizophrenia. Please join us Thursday to explore Stephen Post's deep understanding of spirituality and how love drives out fear and heals us and the world.

Despite last spring's hotly contested FDA approval of the first new drug in 18 years, Alzheimer's remains an intractable, progressive, and slowly devastating disease for which there is no magic bullet. For spouses, adult children, and other devoted caregivers, watching a loved one with Alzheimer's struggle to remember and communicate is beyond frustrating and often heartbreaking. Yet, that doesn't mean that someone with Alzheimer's or any other forms of dementia is ever a “shell” or “gone.”In Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People: How Caregivers Can Meet the Challenges of Alzheimer's Disease, Stephen G. Post, Ph.D., a medical ethicist and recipient of the Alzheimer's Association Distinguished Service Award, shifts the focus from finding a cure for Alzheimer's to continuing to see, cherish, and connect with the whole person—their core personality, preferences, emotions, creativity, and capacity for joy—despite the limitations of dementia. An advocate for “deeply forgetful people” since the 1990s, Post enables readers to notice the continuing self-identity that remains beneath the surface.
