What Can MrBeast Teach Us About Generosity? | Chris Anderson #infectiousgenerosity #mrbeast

I am sick of how mean the world is. 

I'm sick to my stomach about it. I think you are as well, I think everyone is.

Can we actually picture a world

where instead of infecting each other with anger and upset and fear, 

we're sparking waves of  kindness across the planet? 

The pendulum needs to swing, and the pendulum may indeed be swinging. 

One of the top influencers on YouTube is not a peddler of doom and gloom.

He's someone who wants to share the amazingness of life,

and he does so with these kind of, crazily audacious stunts. 

I'm talking, of course, about MrBeast and his 200 million subscribers. 

Many of his stories are anchored in generosity.

He is introducing a whole new generation

to the possibility that generosity  is actually really cool.

It's a beautiful thing.

Maybe the new mantra for the connected age should be something like this:

"Be brave. Give what you can, 

and then be absolutely amazed at what happens next."
