A study of adults in Massachusetts found that people who perceived greater social cohesion in their neighborhoods were more likely to report feeling happy. From lending a hand to checking in on someone who lives alone, these stories show how kindness and compassion can create more happiness right next door.
Pets notice kindness. In an fMRI study of canine brains, researchers scanned 12 dogs and found that the scent of a family member activated the reward center more than any other scent tested, even when that person wasn’t present.

These stories show how pet owners put that care into practice, using knitting, crochet, and yarn to make everything from a cozy sweater for a Chihuahua to a blanket for a Labrador Retriever or a crocheted bed for a cat. Each handicraft starts with patience and a simple hobby, but can become something pets love. That kind of kindness brings a little extra happiness to the animals who receive it — and to the people who make it.

A personalized note written by hand when a printed certificate would have done just as well.These 15 boss stories about kindness, compassion, and the particular way good leadership stays with people long after they’ve left the job prove that the bosses people remember most are almost never the ones who were simply competent.
