Giftivism: Reclaiming the Priceless
41,401 views
In a world where everything has a price and everything is for sale, what happens to the priceless? And what would happen were we to bring those things that are truly valuable back into circulation? Pavi Mehta answers those questions as eloquently as she poses them in this stirring explication of "Giftivism," the practice of radically generous acts that transform the world. She demonstrates that the shift from consumption to contribution, from isolation to community is not only possible, it is a driving force in human nature. As Ms. Mehta correctly observes, "What we will do for love will always be far more powerful than what we will do for money."

Giftivism subverts the foundational idea of market economics: that people tend to act selfishly. Is that a self-fulfilling idea? Consider how we might design for generosity in a world built for greed.

All day long, everywhere you go today, keep your eyes peeled for opportunities to do small things that are kind or helpful or joy-producing to the people whose lives intersect with yours. And do them!
