Doing Good and Feeling Better

Stephen Post explains why in his soon-to-be released book, "Why Good Things Happen to Good People."

He reveals that new science shows giving — money or time — not only feels just as good as getting, but can actually improve your health.

"Giving is as good for the giver as it is for the receiver. Science says it's so. We'll be happier, healthier, and even — odds are — live a little longer if we're generous," Post said.

"Public health isn't just about bugs and staying away from lead. It's about doing unto others, and at the right dose, science says it's very good for you," he said.

I rarly watch the news but part of this report caught my attention. The link is not the video i watched but has much of the same content. very interesting that 'science' is showing charity can improve your health.
