Oavsett vad du jobbar med, kommer du förr eller senare att tvingas konkurrera med tjänster som är gratis - och hur gör du då? I den nya boken <i>Free</i> fördjupar Chris Anderson de teorier han tidigare lanserat om nätbaserat lagringsutrymme. Allt digitalt kommer att bli gratis, menar Anderson. Ju fler varor och tjänster som vävs in i det digitala nätet, desto svårare blir det att ta betalt för dem. Men det betyder inte att det är omöjligt att tjäna pengar. Anderson presenterar en rad lösningar och idéer kring hur en digitaliserad gratisvärld kan komma att se ut och fungera ekonomiskt i framtiden.

Let's face it: Recent years have been tough on optimists. Hopes that the Internet might bring people together have been crushed by the ills of social media. Is there a way back? As head of TED, Chris Anderson has had a ringside view of the world's boldest thinkers sharing their most uplifting ideas. Inspired by them, he believes it's within our grasp to transform outrage back into optimism. It all comes down to reimagining one of the most fundamental human virtues: generosity. What if generosity could become infectious generosity? Consider: How a London barber began offering haircuts to people experiencing homelessness-and inspired a movement. How two anonymous donors gave $10,000 each to 200 strangers and discovered most recipients wanted to "pay it forward" with their own generous acts. How TED itself transformed from a niche annual summit into a global beacon of ideas by giving away talks online, allowing millions access to free learning. In telling these inspiring stories, Anderson has given us "the first page-turner ever written about human generosity" (Elizabeth Dunn). But, more importantly, he offers a playbook for how to embark on our own generous acts-whether gifts of money, time, talent, connection, or kindness-and prime them, thanks to the Internet, to have self-replicating, even world-changing impact.

<b>Are you weary of the outrage and animosity of today's world?<br/><br/>Here's the antidote.</b><br/><br/>Take simple, ordinary human kindness - gifts of time, talent, connection, or money.<br/><br/>Add a dash of creativity and courage.<br/><br/>Then harness the power of the Internet in exciting new ways.<br/><br/>The result?<br/><br/>A ripple effect of generosity<br/><br/>... A force more powerful than cynicism and spite<br/><br/>... A force poised to solve our biggest problems<br/><br/>... A force that carries with it meaning and happiness.<br/><br/><b>The time has come to reimagine a future transformed by <i>infectious generosity</i>.</b>

In Ted Talks Chris Anderson, Head of TED, reveals the inside secrets of how to give a first-class presentation.
