Summary

As the curator of TED for more than twenty years, Chris Anderson has seen first-hand how the world’s boldest thinkers have shared their most uplifting ideas and the ways in which ideas can spread.

In his recent book Infectious Generosity released earlier this week, Chris explores how simple, ordinary, and seemingly unremarkable acts of human kindness have the potential to impact the lives of millions.

Today, Chris guides us in how to cultivate a generous mindset, how to embark on our own generous acts—whether gifts of money, time, talent, connection, or kindness—and how to prime them to have self-replicating (and even world-changing!) impact.

My friends, whether you give with open hands or seek the inspiration to make a difference, this conversation is for you.
