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 benefits of giving gifts that inspired her to create the online 29-Day Giving Challenge to help others to renew life energy. At age thirty-five, Cami Walker was burdened by a battle with multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurological condition that made it difficult for her to walk, work, or enjoy her life. Seeking a remedy for her depression after being hospitalized, she received an uncommon prescription from an African medicine woman: "Give to others for 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 and receiving. 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. The book also includes personal essays from others whose lives changed for the better by giving, plus pages for the reader to record their own journey. More than a memoir, "29 Gifts" offers inspiring lessons on how a simple daily practice of altruism can dramatically alter your outlook on the world. AnnotationAfter being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at age 35, Cami Walker tried to numb her pain with prescription drugs and pity, but she was unable to recover until an African medicine woman recommended a healthy dose of generosity. Walker embarked on a mission to give away something every day for 29 days, and she discovered that charity truly is contagious. She describes her extraordinary month of giving, revealing how the simplest gift, whether it be a phone call, a handful of change or a family heirloom, can make a huge difference in the life of both the giver and the recipient.
