While we are looking mainly at your happiness, it helps to increase the general stock of happiness in the world, and thus your chance of getting a decent slice of the happy pie. Don't go out of your way to make bad things happen in others' lives.
You could even try to make them better.
Do a good thing today.
If you just scoop up a piece of litter and dump it in the bin, you'll feel a quick tingle, even if it is one of slightly smug self satisfaction.
Empathy is feeling with people, understanding their needs. By doing a good thing, you get the instant payback of an empathetic buzz.
