The Generosity Factor

Discover the Joy of Giving Your Time, Talent, and Treasure

De: Ken Blanchard, S.Truett Cathy

Narrado por: Fred Stella

In the tradition of the bestselling book The One Minute Manager, authors Ken Blanchard and S. Truett Cathy, entrepreneur and founder of Chick-Fil-A restaurants, present The Generosity Factor--a parable that demonstrates the virtues of generosity.

It's the story of a meeting between the Broker--a young man on his way up the corporate ladder who has the illusion of success, yet deep inside feels insignificant--and the Executive--the CEO of a very large and successful company who claims the greatest joy in his life is his ability to give to others.

Thinking he might get a competitive edge by meeting with the Executive, the Broker's worldview is turned upside down as he talks to the Executive and hears the principles that form his life. He calls it The Generosity Factor--a way to give time, talent, treasure, and touch to those in need. Providing a unique twist on what it means to thrive in business, at home, and in life, this story will forever change your definition of success.

How to fulfill your life by generosity

Great example of how if we submit to God, we develop an opening in our hearts and souls to be in line with Gods teaching. Service is not servitude, it is compassion

Possession, Service, Gratitude, Impact, Enough

Whether you’re religious or not this book goes over what I’ve found to be the truths that sit at the bedrock of human happiness and meaning. Service, Gratitude, and Enoughness.

I’m not religious but I do value the works of philosophy and religion that have survived thousands of years. They are usually touching on elements of the human condition that science has not found an explanation for that maps onto the brain or survival incentives.

If you’re into Christianity then you’ll love it. Even if you’re not, I’d still recommend giving it a try for all the psychological and philosophical similarities it has to Buddhism, Stoicism, Modern Psychology, and Minimalism.

A mix of faith and giving.

This book is a beautiful mix of faith and care that is needed in the world.

Becoming Significant
