Why Being Generous is Good for You

WHY GIVING MAKES US HAPPIER

Many of us believe spending money on ourselves will make us happier than spending money on others. Yet the opposite is true: In one study, participants were asked to spend $5 on themselves or $5 on someone else.

WHEN YOU GIVE TO ANOTHER PERSON, THERE’S A PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE:

Your brain's pleasure and reward centers light up as if you were the recipient of the good deed—not the giver. You get a boost of feel-good endorphins—the same ones associated with a runner's high.Oxytocin, a hormone also released during sex, floods your body, lowering your stress and making you feel more connected to others. And keep your eyes peeled for random acts of kindness: Simply witnessing generosity
A dose of oxytocin will cause people to give more generously and to feel more empathy towards others—and those "symptoms" can last up to 2 hours. This is likely why recipients of kindness generally want to keep paying it forward. In fact, a single act of kindness can inspire several more acts of generosity.

TO START A DOMINO EFFECT OF WARM AND FUZZY FEELINGS:

Pay the toll for the car behind you
Offer your seat to someone else on a crowded train or bus.
Pick up 5 pieces of trash the next time you're on a walk.
Write a thank-you note to your child’s teacher or coach
Invite a neighbor who lives alone to join you for dinner
And keep your eyes peeled for random acts of kindness: Simply witnessing generosity can spur more acts of good.
