". . .if we allow ourselves to fully experience each aspect and nuance of the ritual of giving, from contemplating the request . . . deciding to give . . . to the act of writing the check, or in some other way transferring the contribution, then our act of goodness will far more powerfully resonate within us."
- Fred Lawrence Feldman

There was a time - before urban living drove many to become isolated, transient beings with little connection to those around them - when village based societies lived by a social contract where helping each other was simply what one did.

In today's hectic world, charitable giving has become a thoughtless task. Most people go through the motions, writing a check without any sense of fulfillment. In HOW TO SAVE THE WORLD ON $5 A DAY: A Parable Of Personal Philanthropy, award-winning fundraising communications specialist Fred Lawrence Feldman outlines the steps of the Charitable Lifeline (Generosity - Giving - Positive Action - Gratitude - Satisfaction) to show readers how giving can improve their lives, heal suffering caused by traumatic setbacks, sky-rocket their sense of self-worth, and give them purpose and connection. HOW TO SAVE THE WORLD ON $5 A DAY offers innovative instruction, through parables, on the theory and practice of an evolved form of altruism as a pathway to transforming lives. Using the 10 Benefits Of Mindful Giving, Feldman proves that with a simple shift of perspective, personal philanthropy can be deeply rewarding on an emotional, mental, and spiritual level:

•• Connecting To The World
•• Making A Difference
•• Receiving Recognition
•• Fulfilling Moral And Religious Aspirations
•• Strengthening The Social Fabric
•• Investing In The Future
•• Combating Hopelessness
•• Feeling Good About Yourself
•• Self-Awareness
•• Realizing How Good You Have It . . . No Matter What "It" Is

Incorporating fables from many faiths, Feldman shares stories of people from all walks of life seeking purpose, and fighting to save what matters most, as they discover how modest charitable giving can lead to happiness. Readers will come away with a clear understanding of how to vividly experience the emotional and spiritual benefits of philanthropy.
