The Act of Giving Enriches Receivers and Providers

I enjoyed your wonderful book. It affected me deeply. What struck me most is that although the book is primarily about creating safety nets, it provides many useful tips on how to be psychologically healthy and feel emotionally fulfilled in general.

I read your book and another (Conversations with G-d) and since that time have been experiencing a profound inner transformation. After reading the books I was finally ready to listen to and absorb much of their wisdom and begin to realize a change. I've noticed that the quality of my interactions with friends, acquaintances, and even total strangers, has improved dramatically, and that I'm listening better, being more empathetic, and forming deeper conversations. I'm judging people less, and appreciating and loving them more. And, as a result, I'm enjoying life much more profoundly.

Now, because of my ability to be more empathic, a surprising number of people have felt comfortable opening up to me and I feel that I've been able to help in some way, whether it's just listening, serving as a positive role model, suggesting change, or recommending counseling.

I can now truly appreciate one of the basic truths of your book: "the act of giving not only enriches the life of the person receiving the gift but the one who provides it as well."

I have never felt clearer about my path and how to achieve my goals and have never felt more optimistic about my ultimate success.
