Episode notes

Instead of constantly questioning whether your philanthropic actions are the best use of your resources, embrace the idea that giving in general is the right thing to do. Avoid overthinking and focus on whether your money is being put to good use. Find a few organizations you resonate with, be a regular giver, connect with others who support the same causes, and remind yourself of the impact your contributions are making. Embrace the joy and satisfaction of giving and focus on the positive effects it has on the world and on yourself.

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.
