Finally it's here! The book infectiousgenerosity.org goes on sale today. I would dearly love to know what you make of it.
fwiw, I'm convinced that the thesis of this book may well be playing out in real time right here on X. I see plenty of nastiness here, sure. BUT also a growing number of people dedicated to sharing insight, wonder, laughter, and yes... kindness. I would LOVE it if you would come on this journey with me. 1) Get the book and read it. 2) Come join me here in trying to find and amplify the best parts of X of which there are many. Maybe we can even get the algorithms on board. A lot hangs on this.
btw, all author proceeds go to TED (a nonprofit where I've been volunteering last 20 years).
You can pick up a copy here or at your local bookstore amazon.com/Infectious-Genero…
...and if you can't afford a copy, ping me chris@ted.com, and I'll try to get you one.
Proud to be speaking @omega_institute Oct 6-8 for the 18th Women & Power Conference, sharing my @SIRUM story. Always grateful to be among women leaders driving change and doing power differently bit.ly/3YcDCGs

Coming out of my End-of-year-push bubble to say WOW. Simply amazed by the trust-based philanthropy of @mackenziescott to ensure the social sector can make the impact the world needs now, more than ever.
Inspired by the work of these teams and so many others this year: bit.ly/3aah8yR

This weekend in replying to @Bryce, I coined the phrase "Make the hire. Send the wire." as what tech needs to do differently now. Some folks wanted that on a shirt.
Here you go!
Proceeds benefit @HumanUtility. @cottonbureau is also donating $5/shirt. cottonbureau.com/products/ma…

Folks think @khanacademy is the 800lb pound gorilla nonprofits with its $60M annual budget. But @salkhanacademy says that's the budget of a single mid-size high school. Think about the MILLIONS they've helped. Nonprofit + Tech changing the world! #AGG20
