Man doesn’t live by warmth, status and altruism alone however.
For a more comprehensive list of things that may contribute to efficacy I would suggest Aristotle’s Ethics or Tim Ferris’ blog and 4 Hour Work Week.
Worth pointing out that one probably has to mix up the warmth and status generating activities quite a bit to avoid diminishing returns too. The first large check you give away will surely be very effective, after the fifth, maybe not. Tipping generously when its appropriate will always buy status and warmth with Prospect Theory’s predicted effective multiplier for small numbers around a reference point.
