Research shows that happy people are healthier, more successful, and more creative. And with the right tools, being happy is well within our control. So go ahead and try this strategy for bringing more joy into your life:
Volunteering also leads to happiness. When you give something away that you value, like time or talents, you become the primary beneficiary. In fact, volunteering once a week can raise your odds of being very happy by 50 percent. Similarly, blood donors are 50 percent more likely to be very happy than those who don’t give blood.
Volunteer work produces more joy than anything except dancing. They are almost twice as likely to be very happy than people who do not volunteer. People who volunteer are also happiest with their work, community ties, and spirituality. People who live in areas with high levels of volunteerism enjoy better health and experience fewer burglaries; students even earned higher grades.
