How To Help Yourself Beat Depression

A team of researchers at the University of Michigan confirmed what we’ve been telling our readers in our ‘6 Steps E-Course’ since our beginning…

“Helping others reduces distress in givers, improves both mental and physical health. It gives people a sense of belonging and of mattering. It increases happiness, decreases depression. In short, it increases positive emotions. And positive emotions are good for the body, promoting cardiovascular health and boosting the immune system.

So now there’s scientific proof: Helping others is a way of helping yourself.”
