Kindness is something we all have to give and we all need, regardless of
status or background. The current global effort to protect our
communities' most vulnerable shows how kindness spreads and that when we
are kind to others it lifts our spirits. In The Kindness Journal,
Jaime Thurston, founder of the charity 52 Lives, motivates and inspires
readers to practice kindness as much for their own well-being as for the
wellbeing of others.
The book will help readers cultivate kindness habits, with simple
exercises that make a positive impact on others and themselves, and
provide a place for readers to acknowledge and remind themselves how
being kind to others made them feel. Through prompts suggesting simple
actions, inspirational quotes, and scientifically supported facts,
readers will understand the positive effect kindness has on our physical
and mental health.
52 Lives is a registered charity that has been changing a life every
week since 2013, with the support of almost 100,000 strangers who work
collectively to help a person in need of some kindness. Through the
charity, Jaime sees first-hand the impact kindness has, not only on
those we are kind to but on us when we are kind.
