Yes! We've suspected it all along and now it's been proven. Spending money on others makes you happier than spending it on yourself. This was discovered in a recent study carried out by researchers at the University of British Columbia.
Over the years many GiveIndia donors have written to us saying they feel "content", "a sense of peace", or "satisfied" after making a donation. So perhaps in our hectic and stressful lifestyles, we should all think of doing some philanthropy therapy to get into a positive state of mind :-)
Dame Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop stores, a few months before her recent death said she was having a "joyful" time giving away around 3 million Pounds every year to human rights, social and environmental groups.
We all may not have that much to give away but we can still have a good time giving what we can.
Why don't you tell us about a time that you gave and felt good?
