Episode notes

Generosity is instinctual, but less practiced in daily life. By actively engaging in practicing generosity, it becomes more automatic and brings happiness. The more it is exercised, the more natural it feels, leading to a greater sense of meaning and purpose. As generosity is practiced, it becomes a powerful muscle that gets stronger and easier to use, with the unexpected upside of bringing joy and positivity to oneself and others, creating a beautiful ripple effect.

Can generosity go viral? TED curator Chris Anderson believes it can in our hyperconnected world. In his new book Infectious Generosity: The Ultimate Idea Worth Spreading, Chris explores how small acts of kindness can ripple out in surprising ways.

Learn how to tap into the asymmetric power of generosity, fight online negativity with delight, and share stories that light up human emotions. Chris and host Jonathan Fields discuss how practicing courage, creativity and authenticity can help spread compassion across our infinite global village. Get inspired to unleash more goodness and be the start of a contagious generosity movement.
