About Our Generous Gene

Our Generous Gene is part Mike’s personal story, part other people’s stories – ordinary people who have found, mostly to their amazement, they can and are changing the world, or their part of it, for the better. More and more of us are already creating an alternative ‘good news’ world, working together and sharing ideas that support and sustain each other and the planet and shifting our culture forwards.

The latest trends, thinking and research confirm that – amazing though it sounds – we can and are rewiring our brains, literally, to take charge of our own evolution. Unlike Darwin feared, the first human instinct is to nurture and care for each other. Although seriously battered by self-centred cultures, generosity and kindness are things we can learn and teach our children. A win/win that also makes us happier and more fulfilled.

Written with lots of practical tips and ideas on how to develop our Generous Gene; how to move from a culture where ‘having’ matters most to one that values ‘being’; from a society where a few profit at the expense of many to a place of greater interdependence. The underlying message is that we have a choice. Everyone can live a healthier and happier life if they choose and it’s OK to start small, because the ripple effect is amazing. Action is all it takes.

Words from the Author – Mike Dickson

‘I wrote this book to share what I’ve discovered about the wonderful benefits of generosity through the very personal lens of my life so far. I’ve augmented it with stories from people who’ve inspired me, short films and books written by others far cleverer than me!

We can truly all make an enormous difference to our own lives, the lives of others and the world – or at least our part of it – by ‘getting a grip’ and living more generous lives.

If I can influence people who read it, I will be happy. A small contribution to add to thousands of others who know society needs to change and to the people already changing it.’

  • ‘Kindness to people helps them recognise their value, and when they value themselves, they recognise the value of others.'

    Orly Wahba

  • Mike shows how as humans we are at our happiest and healthiest when focused on the well-being of others.

    Steve S.

  • I met Mike for the first time, by chance, a few days ago. It says much for his generosity that he was prepared to give me his personal and only copy of Our Generous Gene. I was embarking on a trans Atlantic flight that afternoon. Once started I could not put it down. I read three quarters on the flight and the remainder the evening of my arrival. As I read the first half I felt slightly smug (u tube roger allsopp channel swim) When it came to the second half I realised just how far I have to go. This is a book that has the power to change lives. As I left the flight I certainly felt obliged to give a much more generous donation to the children's charity Changing Lives. A great book, life changing for me even at my advancing years.

    A Book Review by Roger Allsop

  • ‘What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is in the end of little consequence; the only consequence is what we do.'

    John Ruskin

  • ‘If you think you are too small to make an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.’

    Dalai Lama

  • I have to say that this is the kind of book that is more than just an enjoyable read. It is the sort of book that gets you to change the fundamentals of how you travel through the world. Buy it. Read it. Reflect on it. Act on it. A richer more rewarding life is on the other side.

    Marc Winn

  • a cracking read and one which we should all share with our nearest and dearest.

    Amazon Customer

  • ‘Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get. What you see in others, exists in you.’

    Zig Ziglar

  • Unlike most self help books out there, this one really does deliver.

    Neal Gandhi

  • A highly relevant read that brings lots of useful resources together and encourages us all to 'get a grip' and 'focus more on creating a life worth living'

    Amazon Book Reviewer

  • ‘Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.’

    Dalai Lama XIV

  • ‘Teach this triple truth to all: a generous heart, kind speech and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.’

    Buddha

  • It's impossible not to read this book without wanting to take action and practise generosity

    Amazon Customer

  • "Mike is a really inspiring guy. He's the real deal. He was immensely generous to me. I was establishing a big charity event and he sponsored me and all the key people involved. But just as important was the personal support he gave. I LOVE his secret generosity... but in a way he was secretly generous to me. He never asked for anything in return or any recognition. I couldn't believe someone I'd only just met being so bloody kind. Sweet guy and VERY VERY funny."

    Ann

  • "Mike Dickson has been on a great mission – to inspire a world of greater generosity, because the more generous we are, the happier we are. He believes that we are all born generous, but we can easily lose our way. He has successfully inspired thousands of people to enjoy the gift of being more generous, and this book will inspire thousands more. Thank you Mike."

    Nick Williams - http://iamnickwilliams.com/

  • ‘If you have the means to do something today, be a game-changer and do it. Solve a problem, animate your passion while you can still know it, feel it. It’s like no other pleasure on earth.’

    Dame Stephanie Shirley

  • 'Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.'

    Robert F. Kennedy

  • An incredible, inspiring and timely book.

    Mark Williamson

  • ‘That best portion of a good man’s life, his little, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.’

    William Wordsworth

  • This is a book that has the power to change lives.

    Roger Allsop

  • ‘Our path to happiness must begin on our doorstep, where we live; otherwise it is not ours.’

    Richard Schoch

  • ‘If you really care about your family, it’s best to do something to make the world a better place for your children and grandchildren, rather than just giving them money.’

    Michael Bloomberg

A happier life is a generous life.
