Health Effects of Prosocial Behavior
Prosocial behavior leads to lower stress and sense of well-being.
Giving correlates with happiness in 88% of countries surveyed.
Even children are happier when giving.
People who give are happier and have lower cortisol levels than those who keep money.
Older adults who help others live longer.
Giving to charity is associated with improved grip strength.
“The benefits of prosocial spending are evident in givers old and young in countries around the world, and extend not only to subjective well-being, but to objective health.”

What can you do?
1. Reconsider your own concept of health.
2. Reconsider the form and function of your piece of the health care system.
3. Take account of healing tools you and your patients have that lie outside the boundaries of the health care system.
4. Bring systems thinking to the pursuit of well-being.
5. Re-establish your faith in and use of connectedness and interpersonal relationships.
6. Remember, embrace, and celebrate that kindness is inseparable from healing and good health.
