#06 Can You Become Happier by Making Others Happy?

When I started earning more money in my previous job, I loved spending it on my sisters, my brother in law, my mom and  pets.

Each time I provided them with something unexpected or luxurious, I felt a deep satisfaction on my end. 

At the time, it was really confusing to younger Bernadette as to why I felt that - I actually felt happier buying things for them than I did for me!

Have you seen Friends?  There was an episode where Phoebe was trying to do an act of kindness without getting anything in return. 

And by anything, I mean without feeling good afterward – something that, by the end of the episode, even Phoebe realized it’s impossible to do!
