Naked Psychology with Doug and Kendall Mr. TTU and Kindness
In this special episode of Naked Psychology, Doug shares a personal story from Tennessee Tech’s Homecoming — how being crowned Mr. TTU became more than a title; it was living proof that kindness, empathy, and helping others truly come full circle. Through years of listening, encouraging, and showing up for students and colleagues, Doug discovered that the simple act of giving—your time, your attention, your compassion—creates connections that ripple far beyond the moment. This heartwarming story explores the “helper’s high,” the science behind why giving feels good, and how genuine kindness can transform not only a campus community but also the person offering it. It’s a reminder that being kind isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s the most rewarding way to live.
