- Interestingly, the emotional boost from giving doesn’t always kick in right away. When psychologist Sabine Sonnentag and I surveyed
European firefighters and rescue workers, we found that on days when they had a substantial positive impact on others, they were
energized at home after work, but not during work. Seeing their impact helped them experience greater meaning and mastery, but it was
only after reflecting on the impact of their actions that they experienced the full charge from giving.
