When we’re generous, it’s generally something we do to benefit another’s well-being, but paradoxically, it increases our well-being as well. Being generous significantly boosts our mental health and sense of accomplishment in life.

Besides all that, it feels terrific.

Generosity Is a Lifestyle

The Cambridge English Dictionary defines generous as “willing to give help or support, especially more than is usual or expected.”
