We may not be able to solve the problems of global poverty, or of illiteracy or of human trafficking. But we can help inviduals. And thats a legitimate way of changing the world. Its also a way of changing you. Theres been a great deal of research over the last 20 years into what makes us happy, in neurology, in social psychology, in economics. And the lessons are complex, but one of the answers is after youve fulfilled your material needs, one of the ways to elevate your happiness level is to connect with some cause larger than yourself. Another way of putting it is this: Our efforts to give back by helping others have, frankly, a somewhat mixed record of success. But they have an almost perfect record of helping ourselves. - Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, Pulitzer prize winners
