Giving Tuesday: Why Giving Money to Others Makes us Happier

Money can buy you happiness - but not in the way
we think. Giving money away - especially to help others - has
been shown make us happier than spending on ourselves. 


Social psychologist Lara Aknin explains the best ways to spend on
loved ones, friends and even total strangers to get the biggest
happiness bang for your buck. 


And Harvard's s Josh Greene reveals how much money Happiness Lab
listeners gave to charity via Giving Multiplier last year - and
how many lives you saved.
