BOOK DESCRIPTION
The bestselling author, media pioneer and TED curator explores one of humanity's defining but neglected impulses, and how we can energize its potential to build a hopeful future – "essential reading to kickstart the new year” (Forbes, “16 essential books and podcasts for leaders in 2024”
“I have looked through these pages with a growing sense of joy. I hope millions of people read this book. »—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
Let's be real: the last few years have been difficult for optimists. Hopes that the Internet could bring people together have been dashed by the evils of social media. Is there a way to come back?
As director of TED, Chris Anderson has had a front-row seat to the world's boldest thinkers sharing their most inspiring ideas. Inspired by them, he believes that it is within our reach to transform indignation into optimism. It’s about reinventing one of the most fundamental human virtues: generosity. What if generosity could become contagious generosity? Consider
• how a London barber started offering haircuts to homeless people and catalyzed a movement
• how two anonymous donors gave 10,000 each to two hundred strangers and discovered that most of the recipients wanted to “pay it forward” through their own generous acts
• how TED itself transformed from a niche annual summit to a global beacon of ideas by offering online conferences, giving millions access to free learning
In telling these inspiring stories, Anderson has given us “the first page-turning book ever written about human generosity” (Elizabeth Dunn). Most importantly, it offers a guide on how to embark on our own generous acts—whether gifts of money, time, talent, connection, or kindness—and prepare for them, thanks to the Internet, to have self-reproducible, even global, behaviors. change, impact.
