About the author

Orly Wahba is an author, educator, entrepreneur, speaker and community activist passionate about inspiring and motivating people to be the best that they can be. Orly began her career in Kindness as a Middle School educator at the Yeshivah of Flatbush in Brooklyn, NY, teaching the children to embrace unity, build their self-esteem, and use the power they have to influence the world for good. Yearning to make a larger impact with her philanthropic work Orly founded Life Vest Inside in 2011, a non-profit organization with a mission to inspire, empower and educate people of all backgrounds to lead a life of kindness.

Life Vest Inside gained international acclaim when Orly’s award-winning film Kindness Boomerang went viral. Orly has spoken at TED and has been featured on The Today Show, CBS, NBC, Bloomberg TV, Adweek, IBTimes, Parade Magazine and many more.

Orly was recently appointed as the CEO of Kindness USA, whose goal is to increase kindness perception within the US from 25% to 80% by the year 2027.

Ever since childhood, Orly Wahba had a deep passion to unite people in a way like never before; to truly change the world. To help people see beyond the labels and connect with the heart of one another; recognizing that each person is in fact a piece of the same puzzle. Like pieces of a puzzle we all may be different shapes and different colors, but each and every piece is the same size; no one being more or less important than the other.

“It is my belief that we are all unique, significant and special in our own way; each of us with something to contribute to this wonderful world that only we can give.” ~Orly Wahba

If everyone had a copy of this book and read it each day, there would be no war.

There would be no hate.

There would be peace.

Have you ever read a book that changed your life's perspective? Orly Whaba's book has inspired me to go beyond my comfortable view of kindness. I have propelled myself into my corner of the world with greater enthusiasm. I find myself searching for the right way to show kindness to myself, my family, friends, neighbors and yes, even strangers. We all have a story and some of our stories do not have happy endings. This book which is a cross between Chicken Book for the soul and a self-help book has 365 kindness gems which will inspire you to not only show kindness but look for it in others actions.The book gives you a quote, act of kindness and perspective on each day's page. Orly's stories, some personal, gives the reader practical, real-world examples of practiced kindness. If you're tired of all the negativity in the world and want to really make a difference, then this book is for you.
Read it, Live it, Become a life vest for others.

Na każdej stronie jest inne zadanie do wykonania. Autorka podzieliła je na 12 części (między innymi życzliwość w domu, w szkole czy też dla siebie), więc tak naprawdę każdy dzień jest inny. Dodatkowo otrzymujemy również inspirujące cytaty, a także refleksje, które czasem są historiami z życia Orly Wahby.

Co mi się naprawdę podoba, to to, że jest to pozycja bardzo uniwersalna. Możemy z niej korzystać przez lata, a dodatkowo mogą po nią sięgnąć zarówno młodsi czytelnicy, jak i ci starsi. Co więcej, wcale nie musimy wykonywać zadań po kolei. Możemy przeskakiwać, a niektóre zwyczajnie pomijać, dzięki czemu można z niej stworzyć naprawdę przyjemną lekturę czy też chociażby listę rzeczy do wykonania.

Zadania to tak naprawdę małe drobiazgi, które jednak mogą zmienić czyjeś życie. To mi się naprawdę podoba, bo możemy uczynić ten świat o wiele lepszym. Naprawdę polecam tę pozycję, bo jest to coś innego. Nigdy nie spotkałam podobnej powieści, więc warto się nią zainteresować.

الكتاب عباره عن ٣٦٥ فكره للاحسان كل يوم اقتراح تعمله ، أظن الكتاب للناس الي بتحب الاحسان وبيضيف ليها نفسيا فهو كتاب لطيف للاقتناء وقراءه صفحه كل يوم ، لكن فكره انك تقرأه ف يومين ككتاب مستعيره وهترجعه فهو كتاب بتشوف أن حماسك بيقل فيه وبتمل

The book is divided over different categories / aspects of life where can we be kind to us, our family, community .. so on and so forth.
The most interesting part is that the same category is then further divided into 365 days a year with practical tip of how to be kind. It also has a relevant quote with it to motivate you and a really nice short paragraph to talk about kindness boomerang impact.
Day wise is content is not longer than a page, where as mostly are just half the page to help you understand and just be ready to take kind action towards ourselves and to the world out there.

Must read and a book that you will keep coming back to, maybe everyday?

Narzekasz, że świat jest nieprzyjemnym miejscem, przepełnionym smutkiem, niewdzięcznością i złem? Może po części masz rację, ale jesteś w stanie dać temu światu małą cegiełkę dobra, do niej dołączy kolejna i następna, a to, co oddałeś wróci do Ciebie z podwójną mocą. Jesteś w stanie zmienić siebie, wpłynąć na najbliższe otoczenie. To już naprawdę jest solidny początek,a książka "Kindness Boomerang" może być dla Ciebie świetną inspiracją do działania i zastrzykiem pozytywnych emocji.

Co, oprócz fajnego imienia i nazwiska autora można znaleźć w tej książce?

Całe życie. Serio. I to najlepsze, jakie mógłbyś/mogłabyś sobie wyobrazić.

Książka to taki nietypowy poradnik. Ja mówię na niego "mój ulubiony kalendarz". Czemu kalendarz? Bo jest podzielony na 365 dni = kartek z poradami, sugestiami lub inspiracjami na każdy dzień. I do każdej daty są dwa bonusy.
Pierwszy. Cytaty. Naprawdę dobrze wybrane, inspirujące, czasem zabawne, często intrygujące. Zawsze mądre.

كتاب جميل جداً، من أجمل الهدايا التي تقدمها للأشخاص الذين يبذلون العطاء و الإحسان بلا مقابل او لهدف الصيت او الشهرة. شعرت بالسعادة القصوى لأنني احب الاحسان منذ الصغر و لأني محاطة بالكثيرين الذين يشاركونني نفس الشغف.
شعرت ب جمال كل التفاصيل الصغيرة المكتوبة.
و اضفت الكثير من الأفكار الى جدول احساني اليومي 🥰 ممتنه جداً لكل اوجه الجمال و الإحسان اليومي الذي نعيشه و الأجمل هو شكر الله على هذه النعم 🤲🏻

Because I really do have the heart of a servant, this book struck a chord with me BIG TIME. What is better than having a daily focus on something you can do for someone else. After all, it's NOT about me. I LOVED this book. Listened on Chirp in the car, but I've ordered a print copy to keep for reference. This may be everyone's Christmas gift next year. What an amazing lady Orly Wahba must be! I love her ideas!

This is a book with daily kindness, suggestions for every day of the year. I appreciate the sentiment of including kindness into your daily activities, but a lot of the actions only apply to people in specific situations. Like if you are driving to town, offer someone a lift. So if you’re not driving that day the random act of kindness for that day doesn’t work for your life. However, I appreciate the thought that went into this book.

Very insightful and inspiring!!

What a beautiful testament to how a life should be lived! So many ideas and possibilities came to me out of this book. It is truly amazing to see how ones life can be changed as kindness permeates it! Share it and you will be blessed each and every day!!

Cute concept but it was hard for me to just do one a day. There are some repeats but the application is a little different even if you already covered that principle. The writer gives alot of personal experiences to back up what she is saying. I liked the quotes that were chosen for each day the best.
