  16. Beating DepressionSeligman Suggests: Give 5 percent of last year’s income away. Do it personally, not through a charity. Advertise among potential recipients in a charitable field of interest that you are giving, say, $2000 away. Interview applicants, give out the money, and follow its use to a successful conclusion.

  17. Beating DepressionSeligman Suggests: Give up eating out once a week, shopping for new shoes, watching a rented movie on Tuesday night, and spend the time promoting the well-being of others. Help in a soup kitchen, visit AIDS patients, clean the public park, raise funds for your alma mater.

  18. Beating DepressionSeligman Suggests: Visit areas where you will encounter the homeless. Talk to beggars and judge as well as you can whether they will use the money for nondestructive purposes. Spend three hours a week doing this.

  19. Beating DepressionSeligman Suggests: When you read of particularly virtuous or evil acts, write letters. Compose fan letters to people who could use your praise, “mend-your-ways” letters to people and organizations you dislike. Follow up with letters to elected officials who can act directly. Again, spend three hours weekly in this activity.

  20. Beating DepressionSeligman Suggests: Teach your children to give things away. Suggest they set aside one-fourth of their allowance to give to a needy person or project. Further suggest that they do this personally.
