How can we give sustainably to make sure that it benefits both us and the other person?

After reviewing hundreds of studies, me and my colleagues who co-authored the World Happiness Report in 2025 have come up with three Cs to remember.

One of the Cs, the first C, is being in caring communities.

So that means, um, many things.

One of the things is that practice of being a recipient and a giver together, being willing to receive and finding trusted others, um, who you want to receive from and, and that you want to give to.

Prioritizing that in your life.

But also the reasons we give really matter.

So what inspired you to dedicate so much of your time to the study of empathy and generosity?
