Sent to me by Don Steiny. This is one of the assumptions which the abundance league is based. My experience is that this is true. My advice. Be generous. Encourage others’ generosity on a regular basis through some structured way, like an event. Do this over a period of years. See what happens. I did this. My life was transformed in positive ways that far exceeded my expectations. In fact, I have a hard time processing how great life can be because how ingrained my assumptions are that it’s an dog-eat-dog, zero sum, every man for himself game. It doesn’t have to be.
“There is a stream of research — which economists routinely ignore, reject, or are unable to process — that shows self-interest is not hardwired but is in fact a social norm that gets stronger or weaker depending on the assumptions that people hold about their own behavior and those around them.”
