Being kind when we dont feel like it, or when all of our buttons are being pushed, is hard. But thats also when its most needed; thats 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.In A Year of Living Kindly-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. An inspiring, practical guide that can help any reader make a commitment to kindness, A Year of Living Kindly shines a light on how we can create a better, safer, and more just world-and how you can be part of that transformation.
