The Selfishness of Good Deeds

Interesting article posted yesterday on FoxNews.com from Nancy Colasurdo called "The Selfishness of Good Deeds."  Very quick read - maybe 2 minutes?

Nancy writes, "What in the heck is so wrong with feeling good that you’re helping someone? When did anything that makes the “self” feel better become so frowned upon?"

She's touching on something we explore from time to time in discussing the value proposition - that give vs. get:  what you get is often not monetary.  Keith Ferrazzi touches on this as well in his writings, that there are several currencies with which we are able to exchange.
