So I’ve been listening to all these podcasts about purpose and happiness and all the other bullshit that’s in SHORT SUPPLY during this pandemic. I’m feeling Very Challenged by feeling so out of control. But one of the things every single one of these podcasts is telling me is that we feel better when WE DO NICE THINGS. This probably isn’t surprising, but what is kinda surprising is the extent to which we feel better. In fact, there’s all this research that says we feel way better when we do things for other people than we do when we do nice things for ourselves. That runs kinda counter to our “Treat Yo’ Self” American ethos.
