Two National Institutes of Health neuroscientists were amazed, according to a front page piece in the May 28 Washington Post, to find that doing altruistic acts makes people feel good.

The neuroscientists might have decided to devote their efforts to a more pressing problem had they just read that early American Cotton Mather's work, {Doing Good in the World}.

In it he wrote, "It is an Invaluable Honour To Do Good; It is an Incomparable Pleasure."
