Altruism Brings Happiness

Happy People Are Amazingly Altruistic!

They give generously without strings attached. They are dedicated to doing good for goodness sake, not in expectation for what they can receive in return.

These are the people who will stop to help you change a flat tire but who will not accept any money in return. They have already received their compensation, knowing they did a good deed.

Look around you and watch for Habitually Happy People. Study them understand what they do and why it works so well. Then become one yourself!

    Is this always the case? There’s an article from FastCompany today that features sociopathic bosses. I bet they’re happy until they get caught!

    Don’t some people give out of guilt? Are they happy? Does giving from guilt or neediness make people happy?
