Generosity is an anti-depressant. Depressed people were randomly assigned to give less than a penny a day to charity. Over the next 2 months, moods improved and depression declined. The more they gave, the better they felt. Even small acts of kindness elevate mental health.

Taking phones off the internet boosts mental health. People were randomly assigned to block mobile internet for 2 weeks. They socialized, exercised, and read more—and became happier, less depressed & anxious, and more focused. Being unglued from devices is good for well-being.

The love of reading is an endangered species. Just 16% of Americans do regular leisure reading—down from 28% in 2003. 41% of UK parents read daily to their toddlers—down from 64% in 2012. Books aren't only a source of flow. They're a gateway to empathy and lifelong learning.
