Märksõnad:
Recounts how the author was advised to focus her attention on others as part of her therapy after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, describing the transformative gift-giving experience that inspired her to create the online 29-Day Giving Challenge to help others to renew life energy. Reprint. A best-selling book.

A New York Times bestseller: the story of a young woman’s struggle with multiple sclerosis and a healer’s unusual prescription to renew her energy for life


At age thirty-five, Cami Walker was burdened by an intensified struggle with multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurological disease that left her debilitated and depressed. Then she received an uncommon “prescription” from South African healer Mbali Creazzo: Give away 29 gifts in 29 days.

29 Gifts is the insightful story of the author’s life change as she embraces and reflects on the naturally reciprocal process of giving. Many of Walker’s gifts were simple—a phone call, spare change, a Kleenex. Yet the acts were transformative. By Day 29, not only had Walker’s health and happiness improved, but she had created a worldwide giving movement. 29 Gifts shows how a simple, daily practice of altruism can dramatically alter your outlook on the world.
