About this book
The question was, "What am I supposed to do in life?" The answer: "Be generous." Think about the most successful people you know—those with wealth, power, and status. Are they happy? Are they enlightened? Are they fulfilled? Maybe... and maybe not. Sometimes, the glitz of a social media façade hides a lonely, unfilled, and unrewarding life.Chances are, the happiest, most grateful, and most graceful people you know are the ones who have prioritized more than simple "success." Instead, these are the women and men who have chosen a different path—an others-first perspective that prioritizes giving over self-gratification and self-promotion. And not just generosity— WISEgenerosity.In this landmark work, Chris Gabriel presents the guidebook on generosity for the modern age. Forgoing outdated and superficial assumptions about vague, undirected, merely "feel-good" giving, Chris brings laser focus to generosity that is W.I.S.E.:
- W ell-grounded
- I nspired
- S atisfying
- E ffective
Filled with practical instruction, uplifting stories, challenging self-examination exercises, and detailed models, WISEgenerosity cuts through the confusion surrounding why to give, how to give, what to give, when to give, and where to give. Then, it takes you by the hand and walks you down a thoughtful, proven path to a purposeful and productive life—your best life—with generosity that is meaningful and effective for both the giver and the receiver. This is WISEgenerosity.
