One of my goals for Junkyard Wisdom Rebuilt was to offer tangible ways to be generous. As one critic said about my first book, “It explains the why, but not the how.”
That was by design of course — explaining the “how” of generosity can quickly slip into becoming prescriptive. Suddenly it’s a “how to” book in a world awash with them. Even so, the critic had a point, and I wanted to address it with the new book.
But it wasn’t as easy as expected. Each one of us is in a different situation, and suggesting “how” to be more generous without knowing each readers context is impossible. So Junkyard Wisdom Rebuilt is still mostly stories interspersed with reflections.
Thus the challenge remained — how can the practical, tangible “how” of generosity be shared?
The answer came — or at least my contribution to the answer came — with the Junkyard Wisdom™ Toolbox. Think of this as a collection of ideas, questions, applications, and, well, tools to help you build your own generosity platform. It’s still not as prescriptive as some might want, but easy answers are not my thing.
This is the part you’ll really like: it’s completely free. You can get it here.
