I came here to learn English and ended up learning a life long lesson.

She was my professor at UBC and I would honestly look forward to every single lecture, she's so well spoken, and intelligent. This is the sort of information that needs to be spread :)

This is the type of information people of this generation need to hear. 💕 Thank you KZfaq algorithm for this recommendation I really needed it . 😂😩🙋‍♀️

*_We feel so good when we give because we get what researchers call a “helpers high”_*

Just watching the talk I felt this sense of deep happiness... beautiful, thank you.

*The more valuable someone becomes to their fellow human beings, the more closer that person is to self realization!*

I've learned that if you sow generosity you'll reap it when you least expect it. I'm still speechless 😭🥰 words can't express how I feel

Adults need just as much help and guidance as children do.

*Virtue and empathy is the only way to salvation, alleviating pain and experiencing life to the fullest.* Helping other, the universal consciousness becomes more expanded, creating a positive chain.

Sharing is caring~ Canada should be proud of themselves for this. My country could learn a lot from you in that aspect. I am grateful for this lady. Thanks for showin us the video of the kid learning to bike. It's moments like these that remind us that we all arent so different from one another and should learn from each other. I recently was in a dark place. I am tired of feelin frustrated with this world. Tired of losin myself to politics cuz all our leaders do is divide us into "us vs them". I am tired of watchin the world hate each other and havin to yell at them. And the only thought that recently filled my heart with peace was "I wanna make others happy". I dont know how. But i know i am too dead inside to get hurt by words anymore. So i wanna jump over my pride and try be there for others instead of feelin miserable any further. It doesn't matter we dont get that same understanding back. I am used to it anyway lol. So there is technically nothing standing in my way aside pride. I am not rich tho... so gotta find a different way to make folks happy. I am glad tho. Lately that thought is what managed to put my heart to peace. I am sure many of us feel the same way. In an "eat or get eaten" world, it's not easy to give all the time. But it's the only thing that will make personal happiness for oneself and others feel easier. Hope everyone has a nice day and good food at home 🍕

One way of making a change is by making connection with others.

this was an amazing TED talk. the speaker sounds like such a fun person to be around and she just sounds like a genuinely good person ❤️

Love your positivity and message to restore the faith in humanity. When we focus on helping others, we take the focus off of our own self and to understand that others are struggling with more than we are. We can impact others and connect in a human way of giving.

I'm so grateful I was able to watch this video that I know will make a real difference in how I help people

So in short, the more concrete the result of your helping that you can see, the more joy you will derive from it.

really kindness and generosity work out and I hope with watching this video people around the world put it as their priority to help each other and make the world a better place to live

I am so compelled to give and spread my happiness, joy and gratitude. I cannot thank God enough for my beautiful friends and the incredible blessings.

I really admire that Canadians follow this philosophy of doing good to be happy!

She brings me new inspiration to make something different in my life. Thanks to her. God bless her.

Gotta have limits and boundaries when helping since most are takers

Amazing talk, valuable lessons! This phrase resumes everything "We have evolved to find joy helping others" Just do it!

This small difference in the way of perceiving helps much more than one can expect

*Helping others feels good but not only that it is also contagious* when someone helps me or does something for me or a random act of kindness I feel like giving/doing good for others to give that same feeling. I enjoy Doing so with no expectations with anything in return not even a thank you. 💪

Such a great talk! Always love Ted talks and especially ones like this!

I was almost moved to tears.

Seemed like another, "I have the most interesting job ever" speech, but ended up being deeply profound. Thanks TED for a proper title!

This made me cry. It was wonderful!

Giving is not just money but time and wisdom is another thing that will give you the same feeling. But your right you have to see the reaction.

I am watchign this as my Psyc 308 lecture from Dr. Dunn and this is the best lecture i have heard!

Amazing job being done by people around the world which goes unknown however even it makes difference in once life, that’s better than any publicity

This is literally the BEST TEDX I've ever watch and I've seen ALOT of em and they're all inspiring but this one takes the cake and gets my vote for the most heart touching story so thank u and many blessings to those who give and receive spreading love and joy in this world, wut the world was created for!! So Awesome!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Just listening to her makes you happy!

The Group of Five Program sounds like a wonderful program. I love Canada! Giving gives us a sense of purpose. Thank you so much!

Giving is the best comunication....

Thanks so much for your sharing and your speech are very well said which has taught me a lifelong lesson in it. One way of making a change is by making connections with others.

This story is beautiful!

This is Beautiful. I’m proud to live in the U.K. & proud we will be helping refugees in a similar way without the negative mindset that is often paired with receiving refugees.

I absolutely love this TED talk

thank you very much, that's what the world needs more of

Best talk ever ..God bless you ❤

This is what we should live for: helping others and making a difference. Thanks for sharing.

giving is blessing

I've been telling friends and family for years that volunteer work can give them temporary or even long-lasting relief from various mental issues like anxiety and depression. When I suffered a loss years ago, one of my first real steps to recovery after that loss was my volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity. It wasn't volunteering for that specific organization that helped me to begin my recovery, but the real human connections I created during my time working with them. I hope you manage to get the data from your happiness related research out there for more people. My personal experience tells me that helping others can increase one's short term and long term personal well-being whilst and at the same time improving the well-being of the world. :)

She is amazing!!!

Well done thank you for this amazing show and wonderful ideas about helping people alot of our brothers are struggling in Africa as a refugeea and maybe we' could help them . That's how we can make big different for them ane make change to the world

*Puts money in tip jar* Person doesn’t see it so you don’t get a “Thanks!” *Puts money in again so they see it* Finally happy

I realize i have no more hope in thsi world but i want to give to others to make them happy and myself happy again

Probably the best ted video I'd ever seen :D

I just came here to see an english presentation for study but now I found the today's To do list -Find the worthwhile donation group for the first time in my life. -

I don't give money to "charity". I put it right in the hands of those who need it. I've given rides, to those who have no cars. Blankets, pillows to those who have nothing to sleep on. Food to those who are hungry. I see them face to face. This gives me immense Joy. I don't trust these big "charities", but I KNOW what I personally do. I learned it from my Mother. NEVER pass a person in need without trying to help. My 74 year old Mom just did it again this morning, gave someone a ride an hour out of her way so they could catch a bus six hours sooner. Her only regret !?! She had no cash on her. He was limping she told me as she cried, dragging a huge canvas bag full of his belongings. 😢

Outstanding

Awesome Canadian program! Congratulations.

Canada keeping up the reputation of being awesome, I see.

THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS!

This is me :) # Same Story # really nice talk # Looking forward 4 d new videos # Love ❤ from India ❤

Awesome. Professional advice based on data, from a great psychologist.

She reminds me of Sue Heck from The Middle

amazing speech ,

This video changed my life

Personality is a big key also

I finaaly found the source for happiness after watching this.

thank you

This is awsome!!!

I do believe that every township should pull in all of their citizens to be triumphant against any kind of hardship, mental, physical, acceptance, and confidence in your people. This would knock down many criticism, or would you like the government to do it for you.( China?). And so many others, it'll be only a matter of time. Unless you are ready to strip off all of your hate, and instead use the opposite, Love. Under One. ❤

Amazing🙌🙌

amazing.

I wish Japan (the country im living) have this kind of program..

Indeed. 😊💓

It doesn't have to be money, nor should giving be perpetuated towards organizations rather than individuals.

This is brilliant

Great video on how to help others!

You are the best

Great video

SO WHO WANTS TO HELP ME ?

I'm happy just cutting a check.

I was an altruist once. It is my experience that the ones that truly deserve help don't truly need it and vice versa. 90% of people in the world don't have the mental capacity to utilize their opportunities, they would much rather engage in low activities than use the internet to teach themselves useful skills they can monetize. And they would much rather listen to other fools than to the wise. No use helping them! Help yourself first, and then the few others in your support network (notice I didn't necessarily write "family"). I can't tell you how often I've seen people that were constantly out of cash, and the week after that they have gotten money from somewhere and immediately they spend how many grand on a powerful car.

esto me encanta

my god I saw this video last year when it first came out and now she's my professor. Weeeeeeiird, but awesome

Great speech/story!! I loved it. 😀🕺🏻🎥🏖🇦🇺

I don’t understand... there’s so many homeless people in San Diego and Kia Angeles... innocent people in jail and prison....

Who else is watching this for school

If your here, it’s because your searched it. For that I’d like to know you.

a queen ugh

UBC Prof!!

The title of the video is so right. Yes being able to help others brings joy to your life But what about people who only feel happiness by doing bad things to others? Can we conclude that those individuals have a mental disorder?

1.25x speed gives me joy

If the world had no wars and no negative energy and everyone stared actually loving and respecting one another as humans we could actually live in peace, no one likes bad things you just gotta turn that bad energy into something positive, anyone can actually do anything if you put energy into it, it might take time and we have a lot of time and sadly some don't. Everyone worrys about money because the government had made it the most important thing in this world except peoples love.

Well Covered Contant

giọng hay quá ạ

I have recently been through a breakup so helping others gives value to my life and makes me feel happier knowing I have helped someone in a similar or worse situation than me. Its making a bad situation good again :) I made my first video today

I have a problem with people that are ALWAYS happy. I mean, they DO live on planet Earth, right?

She is so bubbly.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

If I find a $10 dollar bill in street corner I feel happy. But if someone donates $10 to me I don't feel as happy. Instead I'll ask why.

This is what Jesus teach 2000 years ago. It is better to give than to receive.

WOW， CANADA IS AN AMAZING COUNTRY!!

I can’t help but feel bad for the homeless citizens within her own country

But in Philippines Canada gives us disrespect by dumping their garbages to us. Yet, for almost 5 years now we do give them patience, humility and self-control for their inhuman deeds to us! How could she herald her country who dumps their garbages to us for almost 5 years now?!?!?! And without taking an action of responsibility out of it?!?!?! 💔😢💔😢💔

I know too many finincially crised families back home, who don't accept the idea of leaving their home and start a new life here; Is there any program to get someone of the family to canada, so they can help their families who can't leave there home?

❤

Giving should not be motivated by the belief that it will make YOU feel good. You give so that OTHERS can experience that good. As Jesus taught: It is better to give, than to receive.
