Sound Bite: The Most Wonderful Time of Year

For 20 years, this has been researched — proving that generosity makes you, the giver, happier.  It even improves your physical health measurably and increases life satisfaction.  And it doesn’t have to be big gifts.  A yogi told me about baking cookies and delivering them to the neighbors — a long-standing tradition.  Just waving another driver into the lane in front of you increases your well-being.  Holding the door for someone to walk through, running an errand or driving someone where they need to go, picking up trash off the sidewalk — there are so many things simple things you can do to make the world a better place, and they make you happier.  Why do we have to wait for December for this to happen?
