In my study of the daily habits of the rich and poor I found that 72% of the wealthy volunteer five or more hours per month. And they teach this Rich Habit to their children. There are a number of reasons the wealthy volunteer including: giving back to the community, to meet new people, to grow stronger relationships, as well as business networking motivations, but one byproduct of volunteering is that volunteers derive an emotional satisfaction in helping others inside and outside their community. Volunteering is a happiness activity. I discovered from my research that wealthy individuals engage in more happiness activities than others and it is the frequency of these happiness activities that create an overall feeling of happiness. Rich or poor, if you want to increase your overall happiness you need to engage in more happiness activities in life. You need to make happiness a habit.
