About This Book

This accessible book offers a unique, evidence-based perspective on the art and science of giving. It combines concepts from psychology, neuroscience and social science theory with stories from interviewees on their experiences as a giver and receiver.

This book offers a holistic overview of the reciprocal aspects of giving, strategies for selecting a recipient of a gift in a never-ending sea of need, and a guide to developing one's personal philosophy, boundary, and plan on giving. As people seek to reconnect and find meaning, this book offers a venue for exploration. Covering topics such as empowering children to give, the financial considerations of giving, compassion fatigue and how to set healthy boundaries, this book helps readers think about unique ways of giving. Through the use of action plans and worksheets, readers are encouraged to consider their own place in giving, empower themselves as a change agent, and recognize the positive social power and ripple effect of giving.

Mindfulness Giving is valuable reading for students of positive psychology, social and health psychology, social work, and sociology, as well as professionals and coaches working in self-improvement and self-care.
