Listen "#18 - Chris Anderson - The Power of Infectious Generosity"
Episode Synopsis
What if we could harness the power of the internet to make kindness go VIRAL?
That's the topic of this conversation with Chris Anderson -- Chris has run TED (of the famous TED talks) for the last twenty years, and recently wrote a book called "Infectious Generosity", which seeks to understand the nature of human kindness, and find ways to make it spread in the digital age. A crucial issue in these divisive times!
Expect lots of evolutionary psychology, a dissection of why the media is broken, some deep internet history, and how to improve (and win at!) the attention game.
