Synopsis

At age thirtyfive, Cami Walker was burdened by a battle with multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurological condition that made it difficult for her to walk, work, or enjoy her life. Seeking a remedy for her depression after being hospitalized, she received an uncommon prescription from an African medicine woman: give to others for 29 days.29 Gifts is the insightful story of the authors life change as she embraces and reflects on the naturally reciprocal process of giving and receiving. Many of Walkers gifts were simplea phone call, spare change, a Kleenex. Yet the acts were transformative. By day 29, not only had Walkers health and happiness improved, but she had created a worldwide giving movement. The book also includes personal essays from others whose lives changed for the better by giving. More than a memoir, 29 Gifts offers inspiring lessons on how a simple daily practice of altruism can dramatically alter your outlook on the world.
