About This Book (Owen and Lou Otter Help Each Otter)
The science of how generosity affects yourself and others
A commonly-believed rule of play and life is that it’s best to be generous. But a deep study of generosity showed that while many Givers do extremely well in their chosen endeavors, others burn out. To understand the difference, explore the Science of Generosity with Owen and Lou Otters as they learn to be Sustained Givers for the benefit of themselves and those around them.
Why THE SCIENCE OF GENEROSITY is Critical for Kids and Adults
Generosity is fundamental to development, but few people truly understand its effects. Research conducted and aggregated by Adam Grant in the NYT #1 Best Seller Give and Take suggests that Givers, if not giving correctly, may actually be causing themselves harm and burnout. Giving in a sustained way results in far more success in situations from play room to board room and beyond, but requires a very specific approach.
