Why some people can’t stop helping others

NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

If you have super-helper syndrome, you have a compulsion to help other people – so much so that you can fail to look after your own needs.

It’s more common than you might think, and it’s a trait you might observe in yourself or others; those people that can’t stop themselves helping.

But why are some people so driven to help? Is it a learned behaviour, or something in their DNA?

That’s something psychologists Jess Baker and Rod Vincent explore in their book, The Super-Helper Syndrome – A Survival Guide For Compassionate People.
