The Power of Giving: How Giving Back Enriches Us All: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Power of Giving: How Giving Back Enriches Us All" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This accessible, down-to-earth guide teaches the invaluable lesson: the more you give, the more you haveand 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 giveas 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.

Praise for THE POWER OF giving
One philosophy has been the cornerstone of my success in business and in life: Always be a givera giver of knowledge, time, wealth, and love. I am thrilled to see a book wholly dedicated to every aspect of giving.
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.
If everyone followed the advice given in this wonderful book, our world would be a richer, more equitable, and peaceful place. I am personally touched by their deep message. I strongly believe and practice the art of giving and encourage everyone to do the same. The messages in this book resonate within me. The Power of Giving is a must-read. Profit from reading it. Give it to everyone you love.

acknowledgments
To write any book involves the generosity of many people: our friends who make helpful comments, our heroes who inspire us, those who support us in many ways. Over the twenty-one months it took us to complete The Power of Giving, many people contributed to making this book a reality. We fear we may miss thanking someone who helped, so we first want to thank everyone who helped make The Power of Giving possible.
Our first-edition editor, Audrey McClellan, made the book cleaner and leaner. Thanks also to Johanna Vondeling, Sharon Boglari, Nancy Painter, Roy Bendor, Lynne Boardman, Nicky Brinkhoff, Kim Buschert, Michele Davidson, Renee Eaton, Shannon Johnston, Allan McDonald, Tracy Vaughan, Franois Trahan, and Rachel Zant for their wisdom.
A prime example of the power of giving is the generosity of the people who helped put the first edition of the book and Web site together. Our special thanks to Merle Kamin, Melanie Bitner, Rolf Maurer, Carellin Brooks, Paul Culling, and especially Doug Forster and Radiant Communications, who made a special contribution by donating the Web site design and hosting.
We will give away a portion of our authors profits from book sales to charities through the highly respected Tides Foundation (U.S.) and Tides Canada Foundation. So our sincere thanks to Tim Draimin and all the folks at Tides for their great work. Two other friends whose lifelong commitment to philanthropy deserves special recognition are Carol Newell and Joel Solomon. Many thanks for all that you do. You are an inspiration.
The reason you hold this edition in your hands is thanks to our agent, Donna de Guitus at the McBride Agency. She is an angel. Her support over the years has been both generous and amazing. Our editor at Penguin, Gabrielle Moss, has also been a delight to work with. Her enthusiasm for this book has been wonderful. To the other staff at Penguin who have worked on this book (and therefore are promoting giving) we greatly appreciate the work you do.
To the generous souls who will spread the word about this book, and the ideas contained therein, thank you in advance.
To the many great nonprofit staff we have worked with over the years, thanks for the work you do, the passion you bring to your work, and the positive change you have brought to our communities.
Our deep appreciation goes to Paul Brainerd, Maria Luisa Chea, Carlie, Lynette and Russ Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Raj Naidu, Craig OBrien, Jenny Oad, Salim Premji, Eleanor Ryrie, Severn Suzuki, Peggy Taylor, Hussain Tejany, Joy Trek, Caroline Van Nostrand, David Van Seters, and Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas for your inspiring stories.
