This Month’s Featured Resource
This month’s featured resource is Linda R. Tropp’s insightful article, “How to Connect with Strangers.” In the article, Linda introduces “psychological generosity”—the simple act of intentionally shifting our attention to those around us. Learn how small gestures like making eye contact or offering a smile can build genuine connections and enhance your well-being.
The Kindness Corner
In this month’s Kindness Corner, we’re inspired by Ali Shirkhodaei, owner of Lux Cleaning and Alterations in San Jose, California. Ali offered a remarkable service: free dry cleaning and pressing for unemployed individuals heading to job interviews. His generosity stems from a deep-seated desire to give back to his community. Read the full heartwarming story to learn more about Ali’s incredible initiative and the ripple effect of his compassion here.
