No One Ever Knows

Does the amount you'd give change?

No One Ever Knows

You can give away any amount you like to something that matters. One condition: it's fully anonymous, and you can never mention it to anyone, ever. No thank-you letter, no name on a wall, no telling your partner years later.

Does the amount you'd give change?

Then ask

  • By how much? Say both numbers.
  • Who is the one person you'd most want to know, and what does that tell you?
  • Think of the last generous thing you did. Who found out about it?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
