We talk all about the benefits of generosity - not only for the entire world but for you, the generous individual - and all of his adventures along the way with TED. Episode Description: In this engrossing conversation, TED curator Chris Anderson speaks about his new book, 'Infectious Generosity', and explains how it reframes generosity as a beautiful self-fueling cycle that can do good for the world in the connected age.
