The art of giving
“Finding joy in helping others is fundamental to who we are as a species,” says Elizabeth Dunn, professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia. This season, as we treat our loved ones and support those in need, remember that research shows one of the most effective ways to boost your happiness and wellbeing is by giving your time, money, or energy to others. To help you embrace the rewards of altruism, we've curated this special Collection.
