How to be generous without breaking the bank [TED Talks Daily]( [Infectious Generosity]( [6 ways to give that aren't about money]( In his new book, [Infectious Generosity](, head of TED Chris Anderson shows that you don't need a checkbook to be a generous person — you can give gifts of time, energy, talent and connection. Here are six examples: - Shift Attention Generosity starts when you pay attention to someone else. Have a meaningful connection with a person in need or spend thirty minutes researching a cause you think matters. - Build Bridges Be brave and offer a hand of friendship to someone on the other side of an issue you care about. - Share Knowledge If you possess knowledge others may benefit from, consider how you could share it. What may take you a few hours to prepare could light up someone's life. - Enable Connections Help people connect by making an introduction. We all benefit from richer social circles. - Extend Hospitality Host a dinner party and encourage deep conversation ([Priya Parker's TED Talk]( can help you make the gathering more meaningful). - Create Enchantment Artists — this one's for you. Create beauty in public spaces. It can be transformative for communities. Want to learn more about these methods of generosity? Get your copy of [Infectious Generosity](, on sale today.
