I have always been really intrigued by serving others, which was actually part of how I chose my college (Marquette University) - they are a Jesuit college with a huge focus on service. Now, I love taking people meals, giving gifts, and volunteering with organizations that have causes near and dear to my heart. All because yes, it helps others and I want to focus on them instead of myself, but it also makes me feel good! This book was a scientific look at things that I knew to be true: that you will be happier and healthier if you focus on relationships and helping others. If you want more details on that, then this is definitely the book for you! Fred Sanders was a fantastic narrator if you choose the audiobook!

Thank you so much to St. Martin's Essentials for the copy of this book and to Macmillan Audio for the ALC.
