World Kindness Day: How doing good deeds can make you feel better

Science shows that doing good deeds for others will make you feel better in return

"Carrying out acts of kindness for each other can positively affect our own mental health and in turn inspire more people around you to carry out their own acts of kindness."

With World Kindness Day coinciding with 'Friday the 13th' and a global pandemic this year, there’s no better time to get out and spread some good wishes and do good deeds than today.

Research commissioned by Boots Ireland for World Kindness Day shows that most people are trying to be kinder this year as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
