Why I Wrote The Kindness Advantage
People often ask me why I wrote this book.
The answer is simple.
After years of studying human behavior and listening to stories from people around the world, I became convinced that kindness isn’t just a nice idea. It’s one of the most powerful advantages we have.
Kindness builds trust. It strengthens relationships. It creates better leaders, healthier workplaces, stronger communities, and more meaningful lives.
That’s why I wrote The Kindness Advantage and why I founded The Global Kindness Movement.
My hope is that this book inspires you to see kindness differently—not as weakness, but as strength. Not as something we do occasionally, but as a way of living that creates a ripple effect far beyond what we can see.
Thank you for being here and for joining me on this mission. Together, we can help make kindness the norm rather than the exception.
With gratitude,
Renee Dutton
