For thousands of years, the greatest thinkers have suggested: Happiness is found in helping others. Scientific research also provides real results to support the idea that helping others may be the secret to living a life that is happier, healthier, and more productive and meaningful. ____1____

Find your passion. It’s not how much you give. It’s how much love you put into giving. You might care about one cause more than others, and that’s okay. ____2____

Give your time. The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to the giver, than the gift of money. ____3____ We can give some of this time to help others — whether a few hours each day, or a few days each year.

____4____ Michael Norton, a professor at Harvard Business School, in Massachusetts, says that “giving to a cause that specifies what they’re going to do with your money [or service] leads to more happiness.”

Don’t forget about yourself. “Selfless giving ... easily becomes overwhelming,” psychologist Adam Grant says. He advises giving to others, but keeping your personal needs in mind. ____5____
