Do good for others and seek purpose in life. These routes to happiness yield greater health benefits than self-gratification. When it comes to our health, not all happiness is created equally. Researchers found that different paths to joy have distinct effects on our genes and our health. Doing good for others or seeking a strong purpose in life boosts physical and mental well-being more than self-gratification like materialism or wealth.

But finding satisfaction through more altruistic routes as well can deepen your happiness and improve your overall health by reducing stress and lowering disease-causing inflammation.
