There's a new incentive to doing good things for others: It makes you happier.
Michael Steger, a psychologist at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, has always been amazed by how differently people lead their lives.
Steger couldn’t help but wonder which behavior makes people happier—seeking pleasure or doing good?
The more people participated in meaningful activities, the happier they were and the more purposeful their lives felt. Pleasure-seeking behaviors, on the other hand, did not make people happier.
