Double Edged Happiness
Manfred Spitzer, famous shrink, explained on German TV that we could all be much happier if we did more for others. Apparently, happiness goes along with making presents. A test crowd felt happier than before because these people had not spend their money for themselves but for others. And since we know about the connection between happiness and health, those generous people were not only happier but also healthier than the egoists.
Great! But Spitzer never mentioned how we should be able to make presents if we have hardly got enough to support ourselves. And there is also no data about the health and happiness status of people that have to take presents but cannot give any.
