Neuroscience has found...
Kindness & Compassion 
A team of Japanese university researchers found
that college students could increase their sense of happiness
“simply by counting one's own acts of kindness for one week.”
Even people who already considered themselves happy
became kinder and more grateful
as a result of doing this exercise.

What's more, studies have shown that adults
can be quickly trained to be more caring
toward others by practicing lovingkindness meditation.
Those who did the compassion training were
more likely to give money to people who suffered financial loss.
When their brains were scanned,
they showed more activity in circuits involving motivation,
awareness, and pleasure. Compassion training
can also lower social anxiety and
reduce antisocial behavior.
