Though originally meant simply to list ways for Mormon missionaries to fulfill their four-hours-a-week service requirements


About three years ago, the experiment began in San Jose, Calif. Mormon officials found that missionaries involved in service were less likely to have health problems or depression, and relationships between the pairs, known as "companionships," improved.

Interesting - they noticed that missionaries that proselyte less and serve more have fewer health problems, lower levels of depression and better relationships.

“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
