Make a High Yield Investment to Happiness

One of the chapters in my book, Powered by Happy, is called how to Make a High Yield Investment to Happiness. Research has shown that its not winning the lotter that brings you long term sustainable happiness, it is helping others. One of my favorite parts of this chapter is a section on "Paying it Forward". It comes from the Kevin Spacey movie back in 2000 on the premise of doing good deeds for others in hopes they will too will do good deeds. How can YOU pay it forward? Do this simple exercise: Write down an act of kindness that someone has done for you lately. Then think about how you can personally pay it forward with a kind deed for others. You will be amazed on how it makes you feel!

Enjoy your day!
