"The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious. " --Martin Luther King, Jr.
Survival of the Nicest
In 1871, Charles Darwin proposed that the human species had succeeded because of traits like sharing and compassion. "Those communities," he wrote, "which included the greatest number of the most sympathetic members would flourish best, and rear the greatest number of offspring." Nearly 150 years later, modern science is confirming Darwin's hypothesis -- with practical implications for how we relate to each other and do business.
