The Exciting New Research that Proves the Link Between Doing Good and Living a Longer, Healthier, Happier Life
by Stephen Post, Jill Neimark, Reverend Otis Moss Jr.
Dr. Stephen Post has been making headlines by funding studies at the nation’s top universities to prove once and for all the life-enhancing benefits of caring, kindness, and compassion. The exciting new research shows that when we give of ourselves, especially if we start young, everything from life-satisfaction to self-realization and physical health is significantly affected. Mortality is delayed. Depression is reduced. Well-being and good fortune are increased. In their life-changing new book, Why Good Things Happen to Good People, Dr. Post and journalist Jill Neimark weave the growing new science of love and giving with profoundly moving real-life stories to show exactly how giving unlocks the doors to health, happiness, and a longer life.
"The authors' advice is sound: begin first with what you do well before branching out to more difficult areas, and focus your giving across four domains—family, friends, community, and humanity. Highly recommended for self-help collections in public libraries." - Library Journal.
