Changes, Changes …

Yes, more changes are happening at The Humanity Project. We really do think you’ll be happy with the results when they’re all finished. But for now, these changes mean you’ll see some different things on this website.

Last week’s changes included our move into a new headquarters. It’s a comfortable place with more space than our previous office. We think it will make an inspiring spot for us to work. But the most important change to you is this: our mission has been refocused. We now are committed to helping people live happier lives through dedicated service to others, something we call a “giving lifestyle.” This goes way beyond simple volunteer work, though volunteering may (or may not) be part of the answer for you. We’re talking about a complete attitude shift, from self-centered thinking to outer-directed thinking focused on the needs of others. Scientific research is proving that this attitude is the very thing that makes us happiest in the long run – doing for others helps us more than anything else, oddly enough. That’s the idea we’ll be teaching on this website and in the community. But for now, we’re in transition. So this means we’ll be changing the frequency of our podcasts – from weekly to monthly. And we’ll now update the home page feature, The Humanity Spotlight, when there’s something important to tell you about. Basically, our web operations are in a temporary slowdown so that we can work on the website redesign. When that’s done, we’ll come back with bold new features and even more exciting podcasts and blogs than in the past. Stay with us. And if you can, please help speed up the completion of all our changes with a donation. Just go to our home page, click on “Join The Project” and make a tax-deductible contribution. We need your help. Thank you!
