"I get a natural high"-my reason for running
What other types of good highs are there?
In the book The Healing Power of Doing Good - Allan Luks gives the answer.
Luks studies thousands of volunteers and discovered that they achieved a
"helper's high". This high was very similar to what a a person experiences after a long run.
Helper's high created a "euphoric" feeling that, unlike "runner's high" lasts for several weeks.
The most amazing part was that Luks also found that the volunteers who later reflected on their giving were refreshed by doing so.
Today's question is:
"Have you gotten your helper's high today?"
