Great post. I really think #3 about understanding how giving works to exponentially increase happiness is some of the best advice out there. If we are able to align ourselves and actions with the golden rule and focus on what we are giving to others, you are so right that what we receive in return is a million times better and ultimately increases our own happiness.

Of course Katya, and this is something that has been covered a number of times on the site.

This post isn’t really about why is happiness and where it comes from though, just some nice little examples to increase what is already within you.

Thanks for the great comments!
