Stop Thinking With Your Butt

In this last episode in the "Giving Season" Katie shares the science behind "Paying it Forward" and what life would look like in a Gift Economy. From bats, bees and Bonobos, it seems that generosity is engrained in our DNA and aids in our species survival. In fact giving leads to what scientists call a "Helpers High" which can in-fact be the good-deed-doers very downfall. Listen in as we discuss amazing acts of Paying it Forward and why a permanence being this movement would be impossible to maintain.
Hint: 2 reasons.
#1. People Suck
#2. See #1
