If we all do one random act of kindness daily, we just might set the world
in the right direction. --Martin Kornfeld
Science Says: Kindness is Contagious!
In findings sure to gladden the heart of anyone who's ever wondered
whether tiny acts of kindness have larger consequences, researchers
have shown that generosity is contagious. Goodness spurs goodness,
they found: A single act can influence dozens more. In a game where
selfishness made more sense than cooperation, acts of giving were
"tripled over the course of the experiment by other subjects who are
directly or indirectly influenced to contribute more," wrote political
scientist James Fowler of UC San Diego, and medical sociologist
Nicholas Christakis of Harvard. Their findings, published March 8 in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are the latest in a
series of studies on the spread of behaviors through social networks.
Be The Change:
Do a unique act of kindness, everyday, for the next ten days.
