An article in today's Boston Globe states that new research proves that money can make you happy - if you spend it on someone else. Therefore you are helping others by asking them to donate to a good cause, which helps others -- Mass. Eye and Ear -- for your sponsorship for the Boston Marathon.
From the article: "There's so much benefit to the person who contributes to others that I often think that there is no more selfish act than a generous act," said Tal Ben-Shahar, author of the book "Happier" and teacher of the positive psychology course on happiness that is Harvard's most popular class.
It's a very interesting article. See the whole article here: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2008/03/21/money_makes_you_happy___if_you_spend_it_on_others/?rss_id=Boston.com+--+Massachusetts+news
