This book presents repetitive fluffy pablum that appears to be a pathethetic attempt to please. It is a mercifully short exposition of trivialities.

"Give to Your Heart's Content: Without Giving Yourself Away" is one of the best books available on the subject of giving. Continuous giving without taking time for yourself leads to exhaustion, frustration, and burnout. The book has some self-assessment exercises that can be used to help determine the type of giver you are. Do you give expecting something in return or do you give without expecting reciprocation? Do you take on more than you can do because you find it difficult to say "no"? Do you give so that you will be recognized for your giving or do you give silently without requiring recognition for your gift?
Once you know the type of giver you are the authors lead through several ways to change your giving patterns to ones that are more holistic in nature. Give authentically, give from the heart, give wholly, but learn where you have to draw the line so that you can continue to give in the future. In a society where we are taught that to give to yourself is selfish many people find it hard to take care of their own spiritual and emotional needs, but if we don't then our value to others is decreased. It is only by taking care of ourselves that we are able to truly help others. This is the basic message of "Give to Your Heart's Content" and it couldn't be more true. Highly recommended reading.
