IT IS the very purpose of life AND

Highlights:
People are living about 30 years longer these days. How will you fill all that extra time? Volunteer! "It's the closest thing to a silver bullet we have discovered for personal and societal well-being." Special effects: * "giver's high" - the feel good tingle you get from doing good. * the social give and take that combats isolation. * "a growing body of research tells us that those who volunteer have lower mortality rates and less depression, along with a greater sense of control over one's life and higher rates of self-esteem and happiness." |
