10 Things You Should Do to Be Happier in 2015
This year we’ve been talking a lot about what makes donors give more. We’ve worked with our pal Dr. Russell James to determine which “words work,” what it looks like “inside the mind of the planned giving donor,” and why some “wills won’t” in future.
But, as we end the year, I figured I’d share with you what science says about YOU and how you can be happier in 2015.
Here’s a list of the top 10 things you can do to be happier… all backed by science.
1. Exercise more
2. Sleep more
3. Move closer to work to shorten your commute
4. Spend time with friends and family
5. Go outside more
6. Help others
7. Practice smiling
8. Plan a trip – but don’t actually take one
9. Meditate
10. Practice gratitude

Feeling like your job is getting harder because donor expectations have changed and competition for the charitable dollar is growing?
Finding that the old orthodoxies and conventions espoused by so-called experts in online echo-chambers and at conferences don’t work anymore?
Want to help more people make impact by facilitating their acts of philanthropy but feel like too many obstacles keep getting in your way?
Then this book is for you.
Engagement Fundraising was developed from the perspective of a donor who discovered firsthand that the impersonal, spray-and-pray approaches of his beloved charity were not only offensive but also wasteful and ineffective. So he took action. And now, you can too.
