Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Perhaps the simplest, most powerful moral question you can ask of your life is: 'Am I a net giver, or a net taker?'
As head of TED for the past 20 years, Chris Anderson has had a ringside view of the world's most significant thinkers sharing their boldest ideas across every imaginable discipline. Yet there's a single theme that stands out in his mind as the essential connecting thread: generosity.
It may seem simple, but generosity has played a key role in building the tools, knowledge, and institutions that have allowed civilisation to flourish. Now, in our unsettled modern world, beset by disruption and division, Anderson believes our collective future depends on reconnecting to this vital human trait.
In this profound and inspiring book, Anderson shows how the same technologies that have been a catalyst for negativity can be turned into an exponential force for good - to create chain reactions of generous behaviour. The potential lies in every one of us, right now - for generosity, it turns out, is wired deeply inside you. Gifts of time, talent, connection and kindness have always been part of what it is to be a good human. What's different today, Anderson reveals, is the power each of us has - if we'd only stop to think about it - to catalyse world-changing, self-replicating impact.
The people, companies, investors and organisations who understand this, who prioritise generosity - who give more to the world than they take from it - are the ones that will own the future. And they'll be happier as a result.
This book shows you how.

Inspiring
Almost obvious but so well structured that it makes what’s should be a simple, generosity, accessible. An inspiring listen to motivate us all all to be net givers!

A must read!
A very inspiring book, and perfect explanation of the benefits being kind. I read this just at the right time whilst I launch a new venture. It has kept me in check of why I'm doing what I'm doing. Reccomend! It will make you a better person.

Brilliant!
It made an enormous difference to have the author read this book, it clearly means the world to him and that comes across poignantly in each chapter. I found it interesting, encouraging and certainly challenging. It is potentially life changing...and maybe world changing! Highly recommended ✅

The dreadful AI generated narration spoiled the genius of the content.
It's ironic that the man behind TED talks allowed such a poor quality of narration to be released. The context is wonderful by the jerry, inexpensive narration makes it almost unlistenable.
