A year of living kindly

Being kind is something most of us do when it's easy and when it suits us. Being kind when we don't feel like it or when all of our buttons are being pushed is hard. But that's also when it's most needed; that's when it can defuse anger and even violence when it can restore civility in our personal and virtual interactions. Kindness has the power to profoundly change our relationships with other people and with ourselves. It can in fact change the world. Using stories observation humor and summaries of expert research Donna Cameron shares her experience committing to 365 days of practicing kindness. She explores what a kind life entails and what gets in the way of it and she provides practical and experiential suggestions for how each of us can strengthen our kindness muscle so choosing a life of kindness becomes ever easier and more natural.
