What the Science Reveals

Dr. Post's research at Case Western Reserve and Stony Brook University, funded by the Templeton Foundation, has produced remarkable findings about the health benefits of giving:

🩺 Physical Health

  • 44% lower mortality among regular volunteers
  • Enhanced immune function and cardiovascular health
  • Reduced chronic pain and inflammation
  • "Helper's High"—dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin release

🧠 Mental Health

  • Significantly reduced depression and anxiety
  • Greater sense of purpose and life satisfaction
  • Enhanced self-esteem and social connection
  • Protection against stress-related illness

⏳ Longevity

  • Multiple studies confirm givers live longer
  • Effects independent of age, health status, or income
  • Benefits increase with consistent, intentional giving
  • Impact extends to family members and communities
The Institute for Research on Unlimited Love: Founded in 2001 by Sir John Templeton, the Institute has funded over 50 studies at 44 universities worldwide—Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, Case Western, and many more. Dr. Post serves as President, making UBDoingGood2 the only wisdom collection directly grounded in this unprecedented body of research.

How People Might Use UBDoingGood2

The following are hypothetical examples illustrating potential use cases. These are not testimonials from actual users but scenarios showing how UBDoingGood2 could be applied:

Hypothetical Example

The Daily Giver

David might print the full card deck and keep it on his nightstand. Each morning, he could draw one card randomly and commit to practicing that form of giving throughout the day. If he draws "Inspire-U-2-B-Kind," he might look for three opportunities to show kindness. He writes his experiences in the margins, creating a giving journal over time.

Hypothetical Example

The 10-Week Journey

Maria might work through Post's 10 Ways systematically. She could focus on one Way per week (e.g., "Forgiveness" in Week 3), pulling out only the relevant cards. She'd work through all 4 modules over 7 days, journaling about her experiences with forgiveness, then print fresh copies before moving to the next Way.

Hypothetical Example

The Book Explorer

Thomas might prefer the ebook format, reading through it on his tablet during lunch breaks. He could use the clickable table of contents to jump to specific Ways that speak to his current life situations. The book format lets him read several modules in sequence, seeing how Generativity, Compassion, and Loyalty all connect.

Hypothetical Example

The Service Group

A church small group might each purchase and print their own card decks. At weekly meetings, they could choose one Way of Giving together, each person sharing which quote resonated most and how they plan to practice that form of giving in the coming week. The ability to write notes directly on cards captures insights from these discussions.

Hypothetical Example

The Family Practice

The Johnson family might use UBDoingGood2 as a dinnertime ritual. Each evening, one family member draws a card and reads a quote aloud. They discuss what it means and how they saw that quality in action during the day. Parents find it opens conversations about values with their children in natural, non-preachy ways.

Hypothetical Example

The Crisis Support

Rachel, struggling with resentment after a betrayal, might print only the Forgiveness Way cards. She could keep these 4 specific cards with her, rereading quotes throughout the day, writing prayers or reflections alongside them. When she finds quotes that truly help her release anger, she highlights them for quick access during difficult moments.

Note: These examples illustrate possible applications. Your experience will depend on which format you prefer (cards vs. book), how you integrate giving practice into your life, and your commitment to moving from inspiration to action.

Where to Practice: Post's Four Domains of Giving

Dr. Post's research reveals that giving operates across four domains—and the benefits multiply when you practice in all four:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Family

The foundation of giving—where we first learn and practice care, support, and love

🤝

Friends

Chosen relationships where giving deepens bonds and creates mutual flourishing

🏘️

Community

Neighbors, colleagues, and local connections where giving builds social fabric

🌍

Humanity

Extending compassion beyond personal circles to strangers and the world

The Research Insight: Post's studies show that people who give across all four domains—not just within family or only to strangers—experience the greatest health and happiness benefits. UBDoingGood2's 10 Ways of Giving can be practiced in any domain, allowing you to consciously expand your giving from family outward to all humanity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly do I receive when I purchase?
Two PDF files delivered instantly via download: (1) Card Deck PDF with 49 printable cards (1 product intro + 10 Way intros + 38 module cards) formatted for A4 printing, and (2) Ebook PDF with the same content in flowing book format. Both files are personalized with your full name on every card and page.
How does the personalization work?
When you purchase, you'll provide your full name (first and last). We generate your personalized PDFs within 24-48 hours and send you the download links. Your name appears in the footer of every card, on the ebook cover, dedication page, and throughout both documents—making this truly YOUR collection.
Can I print these on a regular printer?
Yes! The PDFs are designed for standard A4 paper on any home or office printer. We recommend duplex (double-sided) printing for cards so front and back are on the same sheet. Use heavier paper (100-120gsm) if you want more durable cards, or standard 80gsm office paper works fine for notes and repeated printing.
Do I need to print the entire deck at once?
Not at all. Many users print just the intro cards plus the specific Ways they're working with. You can print individual pages, specific Ways of Giving, or the full deck—whatever serves your practice. Since you own the PDFs forever, you can print and reprint whatever you need, whenever you need it.
What's the difference between the card deck and the ebook?
Same wisdom content, different formats. The card deck formats each module as a physical 2-page card with front/back design—perfect for shuffling, drawing randomly, writing notes on, and carrying specific cards with you. The ebook formats everything as a flowing book with cover, dedication, foreword, clickable table of contents, and bonus sections—perfect for reading on devices or printing as a bound book. Both are included with your purchase.
What are the "10 Ways of Giving"?
Dr. Stephen Post's research identified 10 distinct forms of giving, each with its own benefits: Celebration (gratitude), Generativity (helping others grow), Forgiveness (releasing resentment), Courage (standing up for good), Humor (spreading joy), Respect (honoring dignity), Compassion (feeling for others), Loyalty (faithful commitment), Listening (offering presence), and Creativity (solving problems). Each Way has multiple modules with 100+ quotes exploring that form of giving.
Is this based on real research or just feel-good quotes?
Both, intentionally. The structural framework comes from Dr. Stephen Post's rigorously researched 10 Ways of Giving, documented in "Why Good Things Happen to Good People" (2007) and backed by the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love's funding of 50+ studies at 44 universities. The 38 modules map directly to these evidence-based Ways. The quotes themselves are authentic wisdom from history's greatest thinkers—selected not randomly but specifically to illuminate each research-backed principle. See our scientific foundation page for full details.
How long does it take to work through all 38 modules?
Entirely up to you. Some users might spend a week with each module (38 weeks = about 9 months). Others use the 10-Week approach, focusing on one Way of Giving per week with its associated modules. Still others dip in as needed, using specific modules for current life situations. There's no required pace—the collection adapts to your rhythm.
Can I share my PDFs with others?
The PDFs are personalized to you and licensed for your personal use. You can print multiple copies for yourself and print cards for immediate family members living in your household. However, the files themselves should not be shared digitally, as each person's collection is personalized to them. If friends or family want their own personalized collections, they can purchase their own for R397.
What if I want more quotes beyond the 12-15 per module?
The InspireWell4Life website (www.inspirewell4life.com) provides access to 100+ quotes per module—the complete database from which these 12-15 were curated. The website, QuoteKeeper app, and QuietPages journaling tool are all free resources mentioned in the ebook's Resources section. The curated cards give you focused daily practice; the website gives you unlimited exploration.
Are there other products in the InspireWell4Life collection?
Yes! UBDoingGood2 is one of 36 products in our Aspirational Series—each focused on cultivating specific virtues, capabilities, and ways of being (You Be Happy, You Be Resilient, You Be Compassionate, etc.). We also have a Life Wisdom Series with 20 Navigate products for situational guidance. All use the same format: personalized cards + ebook, research-based frameworks, diverse wisdom traditions. The ebook includes a complete list in the "Explore Collections" section.
What's your refund policy?
Due to the personalized nature of the PDFs and instant digital delivery, all sales are final. However, if there are any issues with your files (technical problems, printing errors, etc.), contact us immediately and we'll resolve it. We want you to have a perfect experience with your collection.
