Press for Simple Giving: Easy Ways to Give Every Day, Book by Jennifer Iacovelli

In fact, integrating selfless habits in our daily routines are likelier to make a greater difference in our everyday lives. This principle stands at the heart of Jennifer Iacovelli‘s new book, Simple Giving: Easy Ways to Give Every Day (which pubs today!). Iacovelli presents 40 practical and sustainable ideas that place a greater premium on smaller gestures.

On limiting screen time, raising grateful kids, and a whole lot more.

I admit as much as I want to give back daily, not too proud to admit that I get bogged down by life sometimes. But as Jennifer’s book explains giving and being philanthropic doesn’t necessarily require a lot of time or money even.

There are many myths about giving. For instance, we might think giving is about writing a check (which we might not be able to do right now).

Though the call for generosity is one we should answer everyday, Giving Tuesday offers us a unique opportunity to be mindful of the ways we extend help.

Jennifer Iacovelli, author of Simple Giving, shares five easy ways to keep gift-giving simple and meaningful, and give as a family this holiday season.

Make a Difference Day is a national day of community service held annually on the fourth Saturday of October, and is one of the largest single-days of service nationwide[i].

And not only is it good for the community – turns out giving is also good for the giver.

This Giving Tuesday make a resolution to start living a life of giving. Talking about it, modeling it through your actions, and involve your kids through things you do as a family are so important as we teach our children to think beyond themselves and to care about others in our community and around the world.

Giving is Good Karma with Author Jennifer Iacovelli Earlier today on the HOM Morning Show, I had author Jennifer Iacovelli join me in the studio to discuss her new book, “Simple Giving – Easy Ways To Give Every Day.”

If Jennifer Iacovelli was a Star Wars figure, she'd be Darth Vader. Or  Chewbacca. This says nothing of her menacing presence or considerable hair. She's an original, part of the inaugural cast of characters when this blog could fit into a closet.

When I read Doing Good Better, I was looking for this. That isn't a knock on Doing Good Better, it's a kudos to Simple Giving and Jennifer Iacovelli. And I guess that's an even bigger kudos to Tarcher/Penguin (publisher's site) for sending me a copy because I would never have found sought it out, even though philanthropy is what…

“Every so often, a book comes along that makes you say, ‘Yes!’ Simple Giving does that. At some level, we all want to give. But how to do it effectively is often the challenge. Jennifer tells us that and much, much more. Simple Giving is a must-read (and a definite must act-upon).

It’s a great thing to be generous but there are some key things to keep in mind when you’re getting ready to give.

Author of Simple Giving: Easy Ways to Give Every Day talks about some aspects of giving we don't hear every day.

Most people think they have to donate a lot of time and money in order to make a difference. But there are simple ways to integrate giving into our personal and professional lives that don't involve either. In Simple Giving, Jennifer Iacovelli shows us how to make giving a part of our daily routines.
