A couple of weeks ago, I was sent a link to a place called the Goodman Center. http://www.thegoodmancenter.com/  It's run by a man called Andy Goodman – who I don't know personally – but who wrote a wonderful book that I read a few years ago.

It is called Why Bad Presentations Happen to Good Causes. Andy focuses his work on helping good causes (environmental and otherwise) reach more people more effectively.

When you buy The Power of Giving, you automatically make a small donation to charities.

Azim and I decided that in the spirit of giving, all author royalties from The Power of Giving will go to non-profits.

Our goal is to raise $500,000 – which means we have to sell an awful lot of books. We hope if you're reading this blog that you will help.

In The Power of Giving, there is a special section on teaching your children to give. It is one of my favourite pieces. That’s because when children learn to give, it will enhance their relationships, develop their compassion and increase their success in the world. Plus, you should remember, they’ll be the ones deciding on what nursing home to put you into.
