This accessible, down-to-earth guide teaches the invaluable lesson: the more you give, the more you have—and helps you discover the unexpected gifts you are able to offer others (beyond just money!).
When most of us think of giving, we usually think only in terms of time or money, things we would like to share but barely have enough of for ourselves. But we have far more to give than we realize, and we stand to benefit more from giving than we can begin to imagine.
In The Power of Giving, Azim Jamal and Harvey McKinnon take us beyond the idea that giving just means donating money; they expand it to include the giving of kindness, ideas, advice, attention, skills, time, hope, love, touch, and much more. This simple, easy-to-use guide to every facet of giving helps us understand why we should give and what each of us has to give—as well as to whom, how, when, and how much to give. Equally significant as the difference that giving makes in the lives of others is the difference that it makes in our own lives, with benefits ranging from the practical, such as improved health and professional connections, to the intangible, like hope and a sense of connection with others.
Full of personal stories and inspirational ideas, thought-provoking exercises that help the reader discover what they have to give and how to best give it, and special sections on corporate giving, teaching children how to give, giving forgiveness, giving what we need to receive, and giving wisely for maximum impact and benefit, The Power of Giving shows us how the act of giving is a fundamental human need with the power to enrich all our lives. It is a must-read for anyone interested in improving the world, and improving their own lives in the process.
“We’ve needed a book like this for a long time. Now it’s your turn to help. Buy it, share it, download, buy a copy for a friend. This book could change everything.”
—Seth Godin
“Azim Jamal and Harvey McKinnon do a remarkable job of addressing the all-important questions: Why give? To whom should I give? What should I give? How can I give? When should I give? With pith and wisdom they make a compelling case for the old adage that the more you give, the more you receive.”
—Jack Canfield
“This powerful and inspiring book will help you live a more significant life and become more the person that you were meant to be.”
—Robin Sharma, author of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
“Extremely impressive . . . Very inspiring.”
—Dr. Wayne Dyer, bestselling author of The Power of Intention
