Although it might be surprising, spending money on other people makes you happier than buying things for yourself. A Harvard study revealed: “Participants assigned to recall a purchase made for someone else reported feeling significantly happier immediately after this recollection.”
Don’t think that giving money is the only way to help. Spending time on activities like volunteering also boosts your mood. Research shows that dedicating two hours of time per week or 100 hours per year is optimal for helping others.
After you’ve helped others, you should let your pets help you.
