Kindness: Develop the Power of Compassion for Health and Happiness

Kindness is an active expression of care, compassion, empathy, and sympathy. It allows the wisdom of the heart to give us space to breathe, to feel, and to connect with ourselves as well as others. This insightful book is divided into three sections, each forming part of a “tree of kindness†that can grow from small beginnings and shelter us from the storms of life. The first section (roots) deals with the foundations of kindness. Section two (branches) outlines five key “pathways to kindness†that show how kindness operates at a personal level. The final section (fruits and seeds) explores the ripple effects of kindness, extending out from beyond ourselves to our relationships with others. Throughout the book there are plenty of practical ideas and compassion-based mindfulness exercises for bringing more kindness into your everyday life.
