For many of us, giving away money is last thing we'd do after losing our job. For Reed Sandridge, it's a "journey of altruistic giving". After getting laid off last year as a director of a nonprofit group in Washington D.C, the 36-year-old decided to start an experiment in giving. Every day, Sandridge walks up to a stranger and gives away $10. So far, he's handed out close to $1,200! He also interviews the recipient and posts their story on his blog, "Year of Giving". [

No, we're not talking about soccer. Brazil, a nation known for its cutting-edge soccer skills, is also at the forefront of massive social reform. While many nations are struggling to keep up with the ambitious Millennium Development Goals put forth by the United Nations in 2000, Brazil is unperturbed. The Latin American country has already reduced poverty by a whopping 81 percent, drastically lowered child mortality rates, and stabilized the spread of HIV/AIDS throughout the country! And with so much accomplished, Brazil hopes to help other countries achieve their goals. [ DailyGood: Smiles, Baseball, and Longevity

The wider you grin, and the deeper your laughter lines, the more likely you are to live a long life. At least that's what researchers at Wayne University in Michigan say. In a study examining pictures of 1952 major league baseball players, researchers found that those with the widest grins lived an average of 79.9 years- a full seven more years than their glum colleagues! The study also found that false smiles don't count- only those who looked genuinely happy had longer expectancies. [ Google Alert - inspiration thoughts

DailyGood: Upside of Depression
| ||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||
It's everywhere. As inescapable as the common cold. Every year, 7 percent of us will be diagnosed with the grey clouds of depression. But how well do we really understand it? Charles Darwin claimed that depression was a clarifying force, focusing the mind on its most essential problems. And the grey clouds hit him hard, leaving him "not able to do anything one day out of three." More recently, researchers say that depression has a secret purpose, and it's best to ride out, rather than conceal, the pain. Like a fever that helps the immune system fight off infection, depression might be an unpleasant yet adaptive response to affliction. Maybe Darwin was right. We suffer- we suffer terribly- but we don't suffer in vain. [ Google Alert - inspiration thoughts

What do Paul McCartney, the Baltimore Unified School District, and the city of San Francisco all have in common? They have all stopped eating meat on Mondays. In efforts to curb climate change, cities around the world are promoting citizens to eat less meat, since livestock is a large source of greenhouse emissions. From meatless Monday school lunches in Baltimore to "Veg Days" in San Francisco and Ghent, Belgium, cities across the world are experimenting with the cause. Paul McCartney even wrote a song about it! [ Google Alert - inspiration thoughts

DailyGood, Weekend Edition

Cloaked in simplicity, Sister Christiana and Mother Therese sleep no more than three and a half hours at a time, on straw mats in six-by-eight foot cells. They rise to prayer bells at five a.m., and pray again at six, noon, six, and half past midnight. In a world splattered with high-powered jobs fueled by prestige and assertiveness, humility is often cast aside a sign of weakness. But the conviction in the sisters' low, sincere voices is undeniably captivating. "It's about knowing the truth," says Mother Therese. "How other people see you is not who you are." Instead of keeping up with the Joneses, the two nuns live poverty as a privilege. And they are radiant. 
Google serves up approximately 10 million search results every hour. How much does a web search cost? You don't pay up front, but there are non-monetary costs nevertheless. IT research firm Gartner estimates Google's data centres contain nearly a million servers, each drawing about 1 kilowatt of electricity. So every hour Google's engine burns through 1 million kilowatt-hours. Hence, it turns out that one search has the same energy cost as turning on a 100-watt light bulb for an hour. 
As a volunteer, Charlie Starbuck has helped to plant trees by the thousands on the streets of San Francisco, a city long on charm but short on leafy green trees. He has volunteered for a citywide tree-planting program since 1981, nearly without interruption. That's almost 30 years of weekly plantings, without pay, come rain or shine. "He's done it in such a modest way. Week after week. He's the Lou Gehrig of tree planting." 
The best place to see the Golden Rule in action is... at the grocery store? That's what science columnist John Tierney says. In a recent study, WalMart shoppers of Hamilton, Missouri scored higher in a test of fairness toward strangers than clan-based communities around the world. Researchers explain that developing "market norms" promotes general levels of "trust, fairness and cooperation" with strangers. "Markets don't work very efficiently if everyone acts selfishly and believes everyone else will do the same," says Dr. Joseph Henrich, the study's leading researcher. "If you develop norms to be fair and trusting with people beyond your social sphere, that provides enormous economic advantages and allows a society to grow." 
When the clock struck midnight on April 1, Newark reached a milestone: its first homicide-free calendar month in 44 years. Compared to the first quarter of 2009, the city has reduced crime by 13 percent! "We have made major strides in reducing crime in Newark and providing our residents with a safer, stronger, and prouder community," says Mayor Cory Booker. "This has been the result of new alliances, 21st-century technology, innovative approaches to protecting our city, the support of our residents, and the courage manifested by Newark's police officers." 
Born into wealth, Marion Rockefeller Weber has been a philanthropist since age 21, deciding which worthy causes to support among the many that would come her way. "The table would be like this," she says lifting both hands shoulder high to indicate the stacks of proposals piled high on her living room table. It wasn't a pleasant process for her, so she took a one-year sabbatical, a time of self-reflection, and created her own flavor of giving: flow funding. It is a philanthropy rooted in trust where she trusts other visionaries to give away her money in small ways. 
Narayanan Krishnan's day begins at 4 a.m. He and his team cover nearly 125 miles in a donated van, working in temperatures topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Once a five-star chef on his way to an elite job in Switzerland, the 29-year-old now spends his day personally preparing and delivering meals to nearly 400 homeless individuals everyday. "I saw a very old man eating his own human waste for food," Krishnan said. "It really hurt me so much. I was literally shocked for a second. After that, I started feeding that man and decided this is what I should do the rest of my lifetime."
