"If you want to help create a more equitable world but don't know where to start, Infectious Generosity is for you."--Bill Gates, GatesNotes  The bestselling author, media pioneer, and curator of TED explores one of humankind's defining but overlooked impulses, and how we can super-charge its potential to build a hopeful future Let's face it: Recent years have been tough on optimists. Hopes that the Internet might bring people together have been crushed by the ills of social media. Is there a way back?
