The Paradox of Generosity: Giving We Receive, Grasping We Lose
by Christian Smith, Hilary Davidson
Christian Smith and Hilary Davidson examine the paradox at the heart of generosity: giving may bring benefits to the giver, while excessive grasping may diminish life. Framing generosity as both a personal practice and a social value, the book invites reflection on how people relate to resources, others, and well-being.
