Bøker av Theodore Roosevelt Malloch

Through the ages, the world's cultures and great religions have in profound, though different, ways sought to answer the big question: How should we live? Part of the answer has to do with how we ought to treat others, particularly those who are most in need. Ample evidence suggests that giving selflessly to others lies at the heart of what it means to be a thoughtful and moral human being. In Being Generous, author Theodore Roosevelt Malloch leads an exploration of this important concept of generous giving. Weaving together narrative, history, social theory, biography, scientific research, and practical guidance, Being Generous offers readers unique insights into what it means to live a truly generous life.
