  • The Giving Journal

    Book - 418 Press

    People can be classified into two general categories: Net Takers - people who seem to get more from the world than they put into it (and they do not seem to care about this imbalance); and, Net Givers people who not only seem to give more to the world than they take from it, but truly delight in finding ways to serve others.

    The great irony to this dichotomy is that over time Net Givers get immensely more from those around them than Net Takers could ever dream possible.
