Generosity Without Depletion : Giving Time, Money, and Care Without Becoming Permanently Depleted

Generosity can become depletion when giving is driven by guilt, pressure, image, or the expectation of permanent availability. Care matters, but so do consent, capacity, and the ability to continue without disappearing inside other people's needs. Using the Generosity Boundary, William R. Stanek helps you examine what you are giving, why you are giving it, and what a sustainable yes—or necessary no—might look like. You will learn to make generosity more voluntary, honest, and durable while respecting real responsibilities and relationships.
