| The Healing Power of Doing Good: The Health and Spiritual Benefits of Helping Others by iUniverse.com Something That You Always Kind of Knew |
A book that reflects a truth that you felt must be right - now in this book we find evidence that what you thought, was in fact, correct. What is hard for me to believe is that this wonderful book that I have had on my book shelf at home since 1991, has had only two book reviews in all these years. This book is truly one classic non-fiction book that should be promoted. I think people need to hear this message.
It will confirm your basic belief that helping others and society is good for everyone involved including the helper. It is a great cure for depression and even diseases. I think this book should be mandated reading material in high school. I think young people need to hear this message early in their lives.
I personally give this book my recomendation and endorsement. |
| The Healing Power of Doing Good: The Health and Spiritual Benefits of Helping Others by iUniverse.com This book will change your life |
| I'm amazed at how often helping others is overlooked in our society as a way of healing. After reading this book, I decided to put Allan's claims to the test and discovered that he was right. I began tutoring ESL to a newcomer for only 2 hours a week and within a couple of weeks I noticed a change in my sense of well being. Like he says in the book, I noticed that I would leave those tutoring sessions on a kind of high. Afterwards I felt calmer and more focussed. It truly is miraculous the way it works. |

| The Healing Power of Doing Good: The Health and Spiritual Benefits of Helping Others by iUniverse.com Book Description |
| Conventional wisdom has always held that when we help others, some of the good we do flows back to us. That satisfaction has always been thought to be largely emotional, feeling good when you do good. Now important, widely discussed research shows that helping others regularly produces significant health benefits as well. In fact, it has effects similar to those many of us experience when we exercise. It is almost impossible to read this book without wanting to do good. Both for those who are already volunteering and for those who are considering it, this valuable personal guide tells you how to choose an activity that's right for you, how to maximize the health benefits, and how to overcome the main obstacle to getting started: lack of time. The Healing Power of Doing Good reaffirms and explains that when we care for others we care for ourselves. It is an important book for those suffering from chronic health problems as well as the health conscious, anyone interested in how our mind affects our body, and people in the helping professions. And it reminds us that never has there been such a need for caring as there is today. |
