Are you a giver or a taker?

After attending the American Mobile and Teledentistry Alliance conference in Portland, I was bought a book Infectious Generosity by Chris Anderson of TED Talks. I’ve just finished, and started reading it again. He highlights a profound truth: while children are “takers”, as we mature, we begin to appreciate the value of giving more. 🎁


Every week, Philip Agnew shares invaluable insights on his podcast, NUDGE. Even if marketing isn’t your focus, the behavioural science lessons are essential for promoting health and wellness alongside profitability. Interestingly, his research shows that those who give tend to be happier and more well-liked. 


So, which category do you fall into? 🔍 


For those of you who are retired, consider paying forward professional advice once a week by offering advice to individuals who might not be able to afford it. Perhaps you already have a platform for this! I aim to create a tool through our Dental Health Service that encourages this spirit of giving. 🎉


I often seek advice on YouTube for free, and I believe contributions should go to a charity of your choice rather than personal gain.
