Chris Anderson is the curator of TED. He is the author of New York Times bestseller TED Talks and has overseen the introduction of, among others, the TEDx program, the TED-Ed initiative, and the Audacious Project, a bold new philanthropic model to inspire change at scale. His newest book, Infectious Generosity: The Ultimate Idea Worth Spreading, is out now.


In this episode we talk about:

  • How to create a generosity mindset
  • The audacious and daunting goal he recommends for annual giving
  • And the promise of the Internet as a tool to dramatically amplify human kindness
