Money Buys Happiness
From the Wall
Street Journal
|
|
"Beyond
earning,
taxing and spending, there is an even
clearer
link between money and happiness: charity. The evidence is unambiguous
that donating money (and time) is one of the best ways to buy
happiness. People who donate to charity are 40% more likely to say they
are "very happy" than non-donors. Psychologists have even tested
whether charity makes people happy using randomized, controlled
experiments -- the same procedure used for testing pharmaceuticals,
except that, instead of administering a drug to one group and a placebo
to the other, researchers randomly assign one group to act charitably
toward another. The results are clear: Givers of charity earn
substantial mental and physical health rewards, even more than do the
recipients of charity -- empirical evidence that it is indeed more
blessed to give than to receive."
