I’ve also noticed that in much of the Happiness literature, they’ve found that having a strong sense of meaning in one’s life leads to happiness. Meaning is often found in commitment to a larger cause, particularly one that serves others. … which brings us right back to the idea of giving.

Interested people should also check out social psychology writing on the “Reciprocity” principal, which suggests that giving literally triggers people to give back in return. You can find more in the book “Influence” by Robert Cialdini.

All the best,
