Joy Of Giving

John Mundell is the founder, president, and Senior Environmental Consultant at Mundel & Associates, a leading environmental firm based in Indianapolis, which has addressed environmental cleanup projects worldwide.

In this video, John Mundell discusses some wisdom from Chiara Lubich, such as the motto of "There is more joy in giving than receiving". He shares how a culture of giving is ingrained in every single person, and when we engage in reciprocity and gratuity, we become more fully human, which is a big part of why the EoC can help us become the true humans that we are.

  1. Do you agree that it is part of being human to give to others? Or are people just entirely selfish?
  2. When was a time where you experienced more joy in giving than recieving?
  3. Why is a culture of giving so much more sustainable and flourishing than a culture of having?
  4. What was a time where you saw somebody experience the negative effects from a "culture of having"?
