Givers, Takers and Matchers
person
Don't believe everything you thinkThe liminal space Veteran
A few months back Adam Grant was on the 10% Happier podcast. He is a professor of organizational psychology at Wharton, he focuses on workplace issues and has his own podcast about it. His recent work, including a book, is about what he calls givers, takers and matchers. I just came across his TED talk and thought it did a really good job of summarizing his thoughts and applies to pretty much all group dynamics.
What I liked most was his divorcing giving and taking from being agreeable and disagreeable. Also, pronoia.

Maybe so.
However dharma goes beyond the commonplace psychology of group dynamics and beyond self cherishing maitri Dharma aims to be far more skilful, eventually utilising pronoia as its active take. Great word/insight, many thanks.
Most sleep assistance strategies, help us solely towards ego polishing; healthier egos. Often necessary. However the bodhi mind does not only if ever, operate towards such worldly success. In that sense Buddha Nature works outside of the usual dynamics ... some of which we are familiar with unless of a Zen-Taoist inclination ...

Maybe I didn't sell it well enough. He shows data that shows that givers are both the least successful and the most successful depending on other additional behaviors and he goes into how to build cultures that promote giving.
