The Art of Giving


Money can buy happiness, at least when you spend it on others. I found that spending on others brings me greater satisfaction than buying things for myself. Those who spent their money on others reported greater "post-windfall" happiness than those who were looking out for themselves.

Still, most people spend more money on themselves than others , but the I suggest that as little as 
Rs.5 may be enough to reap a happiness dividend.
"Reaching out and doing things for other people allows you to kind of create a community,". It's all about creating social networks and community ties and having a sense of self that you feel is worthwhile so money therefore can be used in service of that."
And money is just one resource that can be used to that end. All kinds of resources may be beneficial for our well-being.
