Infectious Generosity
Book • 2024
Infectious Generosity by Chris Anderson delves into the overlooked yet defining human impulse of generosity.
The book combines inspiring stories, cutting-edge psychological research, and practical guidance to show how generosity can become a contagious force for good.
Anderson, the head of TED, draws from his experience in sharing uplifting ideas globally to argue that simple, grassroots generosity can counteract the negative effects of social media and monetized anger, promoting a more equitable and hopeful future.
