How to... make people happy
A third paper looks at a related topic: helping others. When a person needs help & all someone can do is provide a little assistance, rather than solving the entire problem, the helper is often reluctant to do anything because they think partial help will not be valued. Again, people really appreciate even small amounts of help.

- Give more genuine compliments to people you know
- Don’t feel awkward about offering to help, even if you can’t solve the problem
- Reach out to some old contacts and say “hi”
