Now, in \u003ci\u003eRadical Generosity\u003c\/i\u003e, she presents her latest examination of the virtues we need to cultivate for the twenty-first century and explores generosity: what creates it, what blocks it, and what the practice of generosity can bring to our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a series of short, heartfelt essays, Ryan encourages us all to stop living from what she calls “the ledger sheet mentality” of obligatory gifting and to begin giving from the overflow of a loving heart. She asks readers to consider where and how they are stingy, as well as where they are meant to give, and to contemplate all types of possible generosity. Ultimately, the giving of time, energy, kind words, loving gestures, and forgiveness may matter more than any amount of money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651326234860,"sku":"9781925682809","price":27.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/17153423482873.jpg?v=1752343107"},{"product_id":"the-anglo-saxon-world-by-nicholas-j-higham-9780300216134","title":"The Anglo-Saxon World","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Anglo-Saxon period, stretching from the fifth to the late eleventh century, begins with the Roman retreat from the Western world and ends with the Norman takeover of England.
