Health Geeks Book Club Podcast

The Health Geeks reflect on their nearly 5-year podcast experience.  We have reviewed 92 books and have decided that we need some time to digest all that information.  We feel like we have completed an academic degree and joke about “graduating” from Podcast University. Join us as we share a fun conversation, remembering some highlights from this journey.  We are grateful for all the participation and guidance we received from so many. Whether or not this is the end of our series, we’ll be taking a break until we discover our next steps. In the meantime, stay healthy and happy and keep reading, everyone.

We're continuing our discussion of the 2024 book, INFECTIOUS GENEROSITY. How many times are you asked to give each week? Is now the time to elevate your giving? Author Chris Anderson presents a compelling argument for why giving matters more than ever, exploring how the internet might play a role in spreading generosity. Kristen, Eleanor, Tim, and our guests Carolyn Bennett Sullivan and Easton Norton (in a cameo appearance) delve into how selfishness, reputation, and anonymity can complicate or enhance generosity. Tune in to learn about a mystery experiment and how TIGG (The Infectious Generosity Guru) helped Kristen discover personalized generosity options.

We discovered Chris Anderson's 2024 book, Infectious Generosity, on a bestseller list, and its title immediately captured our interest. Given that many health books we've read emphasize the importance of gratitude and generosity, we wanted to delve into how generosity impacts our health and well-being. In this initial episode, we provide background on the origins of TED Talks: 'Ideas Worth Spreading' and how Chris Anderson took over, subsequently deciding to share his own idea—how to inspire generosity on a global scale. We've also invited Carolyn Bennett Sullivan, an author and TEDx speaker, to join us for this series. We would appreciate it if you would subscribe/follow the podcast to hear more about this book!
