Kindness & Social Connection

Kindness & Social Connection

Research shows that happy people are motivated to do kind things for others.

  • You can do one extra act of kindness per day, or you can do a few acts of kindness in a single day.
  • It should be something that really helps or impacts another person.

Research shows that happy people spend more time with others and have a richer set of social connections than unhappy people.

  • The simple act of talking to a stranger on the street can boost our mood more than we expect.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
