4. Experts say when we do something kind, it causes others to be kind, creating a cascading effect.
A: True
According to researchers Fowler and Christakis, kindness spreads. They have determined there is a mimicry process at work. Watching others engaged in acts of kindness, or knowing that they have done so, tends to inspire us to be kind.
Here is an inspiring video on how it works that was filmed in Red Bank, N.J., and an article about a not-so-random act of kindness.

I’m the marketing assistant for Robert Scheinfeld, a NY Times bestselling author who just wrote a new book on how to be happy. It’s called “The Ultimate Key To Happiness.” It offers a v-e-r-y different approach to defining what happiness really is, and a very different step-by-step path to experience it all the time, no matter what’s going on around you. The Internet has gotten so complex. So many options. Can anyone here share ideas for how to get the word out there about this important new book? I’d love to hear your ideas. I’m sure there are tons of ideas I’ve never thought of before.
