A deep dive into the meaning of kindness, what science says about it, and how we can better integrate it into our lives, by the author of "The Art of Rest." In this book, Claudia Hammond takes us on a revealing tour through the world of kindness—what truly constitutes kindness (and what you might mistakenly think does), effective strategies for enhancing its presence in our lives, and the rewards of being kind. She draws upon the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, in addition to her work with the University of Sussex and the BBC, including conducting the largest global survey to date on people's attitudes towards kindness. This book is built on seven main keys to kindness, including: there is more kindness in the world than you think; being kind makes you feel good, and that's wonderful; kind people can be successful; don't forget to be kind to yourself; you are kinder than you think, but we can all be kinder, and this brings enormous benefits to our mental health and overall happiness. Therefore, this book provides a recipe for a kinder life that you can adapt to your own circumstances, explaining how we can be kind to ourselves, others, and the world around us.
