An all-new volume of inspirational true stories, thoughtful quotations, and ways to practice kindness and generosity every day.
When Random Acts of Kindness was first published in 1993, it inspired a movement that culminated with Congress declaring a National Random Acts of Kindness Week. The Editors at Conari Press were flooded with heartwarming stories about acts of kindness from people all over the country. This book is packed with stories from people who have observed or engaged in random acts of kindness, and their stories serve as motivation for more of us to go out and be a force for good. Kindness inspires kindness--this is the magic fueling the movement.
Not only is this book full of amazing true stories of everyday kindnesses, it also shares thoughtful quotes to provide some extra inspiration for the journey. Open up this sequel to Random Acts of Kindness and learn more about: How people from every imaginable background have witnessed and practiced kindness The difference that one act of kindness can make Ways to go out and be a source of generosity and love
Same reaction I had to the previous book. Only OK. I lived the last part of the book. Made me feel really good and brought a smile but for the majority it did not make me smile or even feel good. Unfortunately some of the passages were just too dark for me. Especially about the mother duck/goose story. Something like that once I read/see something like that it plays in my mind and always makes me extremely sad and depressed
This is so not me. I'm more "random acts of violence". I'm not sure what compelled me to pick this up. Some of the stories were pretty nice & it did remind me of some random nice things people have done for me. I am concerned that this is a sign of some softening in my advanced age of 41. First thing tommarow I better sit on the front porch and shoot BB's at the neighbor kids to keep up my street cred.
Like its companion volume, Random Acts of Kindness, this little book is true-life stories of people helping, or being helped, by others in unexpected ways. Highly recommended.
