Generosity Stories to Touch Your Heart and Lift Your Spirits
Gratitude and generosity go hand in hand. The more we appreciate our
lives, the more we want to give to others. In Radical Generosity,
best-selling author M. J. Ryan provides tools for expressing thanks. In
a series of short, heart-felt essays, Ryan encourages us all to stop
living from what she calls "the ledger sheet mentality" of obligatory
gifting and to begin giving from the overflow of a loving heart.
Generosity is the great act of kindness that sustains the world. In
her best-selling Attitudes of Gratitude, M. J. Ryan taught us the
inner work of realizing the many blessings we take for granted. Now, in
Radical Generosity, she presents an examination of the virtues we need
to cultivate for the twenty-first century and takes a look at
generosity: what creates it, what blocks it, and what the practice of
generosity can bring to our lives. In her down-to-earth, accessible
style, Ryan takes us to the heart of what it means to truly give, and
what that giving can do not only for the recipient but for ourselves as
well.
Generosity is a habit of mind and the gift of freedom. M. J. Ryan
asks her readers to consider where and how they are stingy as well as
where they are meant to give. And, she asks that we contemplate all the
types of possible generosity, because ultimately the giving of time,
energy, kind words, loving gestures, and forgiveness may matter more
than any amount of money. Radical Generosity shows us how to
experience joy, peace, and fulfillment when we live from a place of
generosity and when we also learn how to receive.
If you have read and learned from books such as How Happiness
Happens, The Complicated Heart, Love Lives Here, The Laws of Human
Nature, Thirst, Make Time, or Enough; we believe you will love
and learn from M. J. Ryan's Radical Generosity.
