This was an extraordinary sharing which can come as a tangible for our psychological, physical, social, financial and ecological problems. It is hard to feel depressed if you feel like you belong meaningfully in a larger context.
Nipun you have touched my life , Git-ivisim , I am overwhelmed ... Practising generosity wow..beautiful message. Stay blessed Nipun ! I have started my bit .

Supremely amazed and inspired!!! You guys are doing some great great work! One look at all your websites and it turns out you have moved mountains! So many active users on the sites, so much of joy being spread, such fascinating stories! We need more people like you on the planet!!!
this is by far my favorite ted talk to date. I am a strong advocate of a donation based economy and this helped foster my belief that is indeed possible. thank you
Awesome, awesome talk. I'm a believer in eliminating the extremes of wealth and poverty. As a part of that belief, i believe that the wealthy should renounce voluntarilly part of their wealth. However, i had never seen a practical way for it to happen. This talk solves it brilliantly. Thanks and blessings upon you and your endeavours.
the real tragedy is that these kinds of things are mind-blowing. I'd love a world where people did it so regularly, that we grew to understand and practice it from an early age.
Thank you for reaffirming that we are all good, but sometimes we just don't see it in ourselves. There is enough for everyone's needs but not enough for everyone's greed. Goes along with "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will live in peace." - Jimi Hendrix
Love the small acts, creating synergie, bonding, that has value and is the circulation of a gift culture, I started to open a store, practicing generosity and experiencing with adding value at Work Flow Studio, shifting in how people come together, cultivating consciousness,sharing the power of inner transformation and projects of leadership for sustainability
I have watched this so many times, just to feel happy. I just told my friend about it today again and came to get the link so I thought I would tell you that you are one of my top inspirations in 2014 Nipun Mehta. . May gift-ivism and kindness spread to every corner and light up the world with love. "gif-tiv-ism" 2:00 ♥
Love it!! How powerful!! These girls are practice what Nipun is preaching. Check out the 1st video that pops up when you type in "UNWomen NYC 2012" 3:55 in length.
Love this so much - the BONDS between us have value - this is true in community and in ecology, the web of life. It is what really do lose when we have 'transaction' culture, rather than interaction culture. This is a beautiful talk.
Stupendous Speech ! It has Power to change your mind, the whole perspective towards Life. Generocity is Transactional, It gives you a 'high'. The feel good factor (that you have contributed to someone's happiness) is so great that money can not buy. Thumbs up Nupur :)
Thank you very much for articulating and formulating concepts I have had an intuitive sense of since I was young... and have had difficulties finding ways to apply (in other than my individual way or within pre-existing spaces of limited scope). I feel inspired and empowered to continue following my aspiration toward living my life on a full generosity basis, not yet knowing how that will look or how it will work out. Hey, I already have plenty of experience with the dominant alternative, eh? Time to try another experiment.
Nipun - u have stolen my heart - that was awesome - i luv the USA & I luv INDIA, I would like to suggest a topic of discussion - pl guide me how i may help in this aspect - i want the CORRUPTION IN INDIA TO BE KILLED - i would luv to know a WAY Gif-tiv-ism - could suggest a way to do this, - there a lot of things in my mind to better the world - but lets start with the one which has been bugging me & many all over the world. Please help thanks
Very inspiring!! Just one question, how do you stopped those who are determined to exploit no matter how much you give because there are still people out there that will? Cheers!
NIPUN ES MI ALMA GEMELA POR ESO HABLAMOS POR TELEPATIA GLORIA Y MAS GLORIA TE KIERO CONOCER NIPUN COMO PUDO HACER O COMUNICARME O CHATEAR ME ENCANTA TU ESPIRITUALIDAD SOLO VER TUS VIDEOS ME DA PAZ BENDICIONES ESPIRITUAL
Isn't that what China accuses the Dali Lama of? They think he is "acting" kind for his own selfish gains, but anyone who studies him seriously knows he is the real deal. I also know Nipun Mehta is the real deal.
Thumbs up if you couldn't understand a single thing this Swarther* said, due to his low volumr & thick, exotic accent. *"Swarther" is a nonce word I created to easily refer to the individual & his respective swarthiness as one, collective, definitive whole. You're welcome for it, Commoners.
Apart from a few 'feel good' stories, I didn't find much here. People may spend an afternoon or a few days, weeks etc volunteering in something they find rewarding, but I wouldn't want my life to depend on other people's generosity. Sure, someone might make me a free meal if I'm hungry, but I doubt they would go and spend 8 years learning to be a surgeon so they can operate on me after a car crash. PS = I wonder if the lecturers at Berkeley would consider working as unpaid volunteers. No sale :(
A few lectures isn't enough to base a whole degree on. And besides, it's fun to speak in public. Most people would be happy to give a free lecture, but I doubt they'd be prepared to to 3 months of admin work / sorting mail for the university with no pay. Why would they? They need to eat, commute, pay rent, save for retirement. This whole idea that making a living is somehow malicious just doesn't fly.
I think altruism is an adequate word to describe that spirit of generosity in humanity. The problem I have in listening to this harbinger of change speech is, it is not inclusive enough for me. I am all too aware of the division that exist in Indian society called the cast system. It divides people based on their social and economic backgrounds particularly the ones with darker complexions. Would it not be more equitable for those with excessive amounts of land to give land to those who had none at all rather than those who already had land regardless of the small amount they may already possess. The idealist pursuit the speaker is endorsing requires a change in human behaviour and spirit. There is always hope though as elusive it may be.

Thank you for changing our reality and giving us a new way of approaching the world.
That is wonderful and inspiring! Congratulations on your excellent work and thank you for sharing your experience!
Used to do a lot of this stuff in our church youth group. The kids loved it, and the donations were incredible!
Supremely amazed and inspired!!! You guys are doing some great great work! One look at all your websites and it turns out you have moved mountains! So many active users on the sites, so much of joy being spread, such fascinating stories! We need more people like you on the planet!!!
WOW,, what the world look like if we design on spirit of generosity!! Very inspiring for any stage of human history!
this is by far my favorite ted talk to date. I am a strong advocate of a donation based economy and this helped foster my belief that is indeed possible.

You are just amazing people!!!! Thank you thank you thank you.....thank you. I want to join!!!
Fabulous! Starting the ripples of Generosity...imagine the possibilities if we Designed for Generosity.
Am busy creating smile cards to see how far I can get them to reach! Love the idea of practicing abundance...elegant yet alternative.
Very idealistic but they can be achievable.. that would need fortitude and dedication to really work and last..God bless..

Totalt amazing! Such powerful, deep truth! Humanity 2.0
Selflessness and vairagya leads to the building of such an ecosystem ...and my model has been working in this since 2007.
Inspired! Will begin practising giftivisism today. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Excellent sharing of the knowledge of gift, thanks,

Superb video. One of the best Ted talks I've seen :)
Inspiring video thank you. I absolutely love that story at the end.

Love this so much - the BONDS between us have value - this is true in community and in ecology, the web of life. It is what really do lose when we have 'transaction' culture, rather than interaction culture. This is a beautiful talk.
A new perspective which reconnects us to our basics "Being Human"
Something I learnt in this video is priceless. Thank You Nipun.

Great talk ! But just for laughs, imagine plot twist in the last story and after having the knife Julio Says to the kid : “Now give me your wallet”
wow...that was different

people are not selfish, you're selfish
Mother Teresa cannot be equated with great souls like Dalai Lama... She had an agenda...
