It is based on 10 years of research and interviews by the author, a recipient of the American Society of Healthcare Journalists Award and a journalist covering science and health.\u003cbr\u003e We also looked at how altruistic thoughts and actions can help my life, and how they can benefit those around me and society.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDisaster movies often feature a so-called 'villain' who acts selfishly and disregards others in order to survive alone.\u003cbr\u003e But in a global disaster, would villains actually emerge, acting out of spite to survive, and would social order crumble without a trace? The author firmly answers, \"No.\"\u003cbr\u003e Felix Warneken and Michael Tomasello of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany published a study in Science in 2006.\u003cbr\u003e In this study, researchers deliberately dropped clothespins in front of toddlers, subtly signaling that they needed help.\u003cbr\u003e Then, almost all the infants responded by trying to help.\u003cbr\u003e The study shows that even very young children have an \"innate tendency\" to help others solve their problems. \u003cbr\u003eThis could answer the question of the role of altruism, cooperation, and kindness in human evolution, which scientists have been studying for about 100 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There is something we see again and again in times of crisis.\u003cbr\u003e The truth is that crises, no matter how big, have the power to bring people together.\u003cbr\u003e There are both sociological and biological reasons for this phenomenon.\u003cbr\u003e Humans have evolved in groups, and numbers are a powerful force for survival.\u003cbr\u003e Acts of kindness performed in a crisis can calm the overactive nervous systems of both the giver and the receiver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, altruistic behavior grows and strengthens both individuals and society.\u003cbr\u003e This is a social responsibility that must be pursued and practiced by the community, not just by individuals. Only by supporting this can we overcome personal crises such as loneliness, isolation, and a lack of belonging. \u003cbr\u003eUltimately, this is a book that says, 'A warm society is created when people connect with each other.'\u003cbr\u003e Recent social events have made many people realize the importance of solidarity, empathy, and consideration.\u003cbr\u003e This book will open the way to becoming a happy altruist by understanding 'how we can unite', 'why we unite', and 'what changes when we unite', which are the foundation of the truth that we become stronger when we unite.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePreview\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003eindex\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Prologue: Why Altruists Need the Kindness They Create\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart 1: What's the Benefit of Being Kind to Others?

solidarity they don't normally experience—a powerful urge to help one another.\u003cbr\u003e Acts of altruism in the midst of tragedy, or acts of kindness for the well-being of others, are deeply etched in the hearts of those who witness or experience them firsthand. \u003cbr\u003eAs a result, disasters are not remembered only as losses and tragedies, but also as memories of what was gained through the mutual help and support we shared.\u003cbr\u003e This phenomenon is not limited to natural disasters.\u003cbr\u003e The same thing happens to all crisis situations that come unexpectedly, force us to face the reality before our eyes, and remind us of what is truly important in life.\u003cbr\u003e As Ruprecht noted, even as his neighborhood was literally reduced to ashes, he felt more connected to his friends and neighbors than ever before.\u003cbr\u003e Also, for the first time in my life, I felt a strong desire to help strangers.\u003cbr\u003e But I never imagined that I would experience such feelings at my most vulnerable moment.\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"The Illusion That Being Kind Will Bring Losses\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It was once a common belief that humans inevitably show their worst side when faced with a crisis. \u003cbr\u003eHollywood movies have repeatedly depicted people panicking in times of crisis and prioritizing individual interests over the collective.\u003cbr\u003e (Omitted) However, as pointed out in a research paper published just before COVID-19 spread around the world, the collapse of social order and panic that often appears in thriller movies do not match actual reality.\u003cbr\u003e The researchers wrote:\u003cbr\u003e “Movies are not reality.\u003cbr\u003e “The reason that disturbing, fear-inducing elements appear repeatedly in dramatic narratives about infectious diseases is solely for entertainment value.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contagion isn't the only film that exemplifies the typical narrative structure of mainstream media dealing with crises.\u003cbr\u003e Recent apocalyptic TV dramas also portray humans in disaster situations as instinctively selfish.\u003cbr\u003e Examples include The Last of Us and Station Eleven. \u003cbr\u003eThe narrative of 'everyone for himself' that the mass media repeatedly portrays instills in people the perception that reality is like that.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, there have been several reports that billionaires are building secret bunkers to prepare for future disasters.\u003cbr\u003e But as we saw with COVID-19, early in the pandemic, people came together to help others, sometimes even putting their own health at risk.\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"Why the Mouse Saved the Lion\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For example, monkeys appeared more generous to each other than before.\u003cbr\u003e The researchers expected that the monkeys would rely on individuals with whom they already had existing relationships to cope with the disruption to their ecosystem.\u003cbr\u003e But contrary to expectations, the monkeys showed a tendency to expand their social networks by seeking new relationships. \u003cbr\u003eAlthough there was still much to be gained from close relationships, the monkeys seemed to have come to the realization that social networks where everyone maintained somewhat friendly relationships were more beneficial to overall survival than those with only a few close ties.\u003cbr\u003e “I think it’s a really good idea,” Flatt said in an interview.\u003cbr\u003e “What was really surprising was that immediately after the disaster, the monkeys started reaching out to each other and making more friends.\u003cbr\u003e In that densely interconnected network, everyone was connected to everyone else.” Interestingly enough, even the previously socially isolated monkeys began to break out of their shells of loneliness and form new relationships.\u003cbr\u003e Most monkeys survived the direct impact of the hurricane, but mortality rates within the population began to increase a month later. \u003cbr\u003eOver time, the researchers found that monkeys with more friends were more likely to survive the degraded ecosystem over the next two years.\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"Why Donating Makes You Feel Good\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Carter's words about oxytocin being nature's natural digestive aid and the way it works with vasopressin kept coming to mind.\u003cbr\u003e The two hormones need each other and, in a sense, take care of each other.\u003cbr\u003e Even within the human body, at the molecular level, aggression and calmness engage in a delicate dance of constant push and pull.\u003cbr\u003e But when these two work together optimally, the default between them is one of tranquility.\u003cbr\u003e When that happens, humans can do amazing things.\u003cbr\u003e Because we can feel safe and cared for by each other.\u003cbr\u003e “Oxytocin exists to help us connect socially. \u003cbr\u003eSocial connections have a positive impact on all aspects of our lives.\u003cbr\u003e But at the same time, oxytocin exists to prevent us from overreacting to vasopressin.\u003cbr\u003e “This is my personal theory,” Carter said.\u003cbr\u003e “Oxytocin was once considered a female hormone, but it’s actually a hormone at the heart of resilience and survival.” In other words, nurturing and caring, often considered feminine traits, are actually the biological basis for resilience.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- From “Altruism begins with listening and

Blaise Pascal, the French mathematician and philosopher famous for the saying, \"Man is a thinking reed,\" once said:\u003cbr\u003e “Don’t be kind and good only when it benefits you.\u003cbr\u003e Always be kind and good. \u003cbr\u003eBecause that kindness and generosity are warmth, strength, and light to oneself.” If we were to summarize this in one word, it could be expressed as ‘altruism.’\u003cbr\u003e So what is altruism? According to the Standard Korean Dictionary, it is \"the idea that the purpose of one's actions is to increase the happiness and well-being of others through self-sacrifice, based on love and order.\"\u003cbr\u003e or the act.' is defined.\u003cbr\u003e Author Nicole Callis, who went to India to overcome her loneliness and anxiety, learned a profound life lesson.\u003cbr\u003e It was the realization that sometimes helping others is more beneficial to our health and happiness than taking care of ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e It was the exact opposite of the message that America's self-care industry has been constantly sending.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis leads the author to ask questions such as whether we can maintain a willingness to give more to others in times of crisis or not? Is a culture that prioritizes mutual care even more necessary to prepare for the coming global crisis? Is modern self-care perhaps evolving into another form of individualism that is harming us?\u003cbr\u003e This book, \"Studying for a Kinder World,\" is the result of ten years of interviews with neuroscientists, doctors, sociologists, psychologists, and disaster safety researchers, as well as research on relevant studies, to find answers to these questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Affection becomes a stronger force the moment it is shared.\"\u003cbr\u003e The Power of Healthy Connections Created by Altruism\u003cbr\u003e In 2018, a joint study was published in the journal Emotion. \u003cbr\u003eThe researchers divided the participants into three groups: one group performed a random act of kindness, another group received kindness, and the third group simply witnessed kindness.\u003cbr\u003e Positive effects were observed in all three groups.\u003cbr\u003e People who simply witnessed kindness also experienced less loneliness and depression and more positive emotions.\u003cbr\u003e The feeling we get when we witness the kindness and care of others is called 'moral elevation'.\u003cbr\u003e It refers to the emotional reaction that appears when witnessing the good and moral behavior of others.\u003cbr\u003e “Our nervous system perceives moral experiences as pleasurable, and it signals that these are experiences we want to revisit, continue, or experience ourselves,” says Dr. Emiliana Simon-Thomas, scientific director of the Greater Good Science Center.\u003cbr\u003e We are a hypersocial species. \u003cbr\u003e“Our moral predispositions—our sense of fairness, equity, and justice—are deeply ingrained in our nervous system,” he said.\u003cbr\u003e And that's not all.\u003cbr\u003e This book is filled with evidence of the sense of belonging we feel when we help others, the negative emotions like anxiety and sadness that are offset when we are with someone, and the fact that people who volunteer frequently are healthier.\u003cbr\u003e It also shows the direction and direction of society's slow transformation after the COVID-19 pandemic, from volunteering to prescribe medicine instead of medication at hospitals, to wellness businesses that move beyond the individual's well-being to fostering a sense of connection, to the emergence of NICE news platforms that serve as a buffer in a world that assumes only negative news.\u003cbr\u003e Giving to others is ultimately a giving to yourself. \u003cbr\u003eThe good we do for others ultimately inevitably improves our own health and the health of society as a whole, helping us all build resilience.\u003cbr\u003e Because hope is resilience.\u003cbr\u003e Modern society, which was chaotic and saw each other only as competitors, has finally entered a period of heightened social interest in connection and altruism through empathy and solidarity.\u003cbr\u003e I hope that through this book, you will discover the importance of living together, the direction in which each individual should pursue their life, and various methods for moving toward a path of shared happiness. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
