While playing around with complete and incomplete zeta functions I found a nice formula which to my knowledge was not discussed in MSE.
Here it is
$$\sum_{k=2}^\infty (\zeta(k)-1) = 1\tag{1}$$
and its generalizaton
$$\sum _{k=2}^{\infty }\left( \zeta (k)-\left(1+\frac{1}{2^k}+\frac{1}{3^k}+...+\frac{1}{m^k}\right)\right)=\sum_{k=2}^{\infty} (\zeta(k)-H_m^{(k)}) = \frac{1}{m}\tag{2}$$
Here Riemann's zeta function is defined as
$$\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n^{-s}$$
and the incomplete zeta function, which is traditionally called generalized Harmonic number, is defined as
$$H_m^{(k)} = \sum_{n=1}^{m} n^{-k}$$
A corollary of (2) is the interesting relation
$$H_n=\sum _{k=2}^{\infty } \left(n \;\zeta (k)-(n+1) H_n^{(k)}+H_n^{(k-1)}\right)\tag{3}$$
The question asks for a proof of (1), (2), and (3).
