Subtitled: Bring More Peace, Love and Compassion into the World"Try not. do or do not, there is no try." -- Yoda, in The Empire Strikes Back movie of the Star Wars trilogy
Each special story starts with a quote. To me, this Yoda quote says it all. We should not talk or think about doing random acts of kindness--we should be doing them.
People's stories are divided into six sections:
Kindness Is An Attitude and an Actio
Kindness Begins at Hom
Kindness Ripples Out into the Worl
Kindness Creates Happiness and Peace of Min
Kindness Generates Love and Compassio
Kindness Feeds the Body and Soul
In all areas of our life we can practice acts of kindness--and that is shown in these stories collected by the authors of Random Acts of Kindness
The Random Acts of Kindness series has sold over 1.5 million books since first published in 1996. This latest release provides readers with meditations, affirmations, and stories collected on kind deeds throughout the world. It gives readers the spiritual and psychological impetus to "pay it forward" in a meaningful way, understanding that their act may go unnoticed, but as Rabbi Kushner says "our reward is the knowledge that we have redeemed the world."
At a time when readers are starved for heartfelt stories, good deeds, concerned neighbors, and all around compassion, Conari felt the time was right to reprint this book.
Armchair Interview says: Now is the time to act. Acts of kindness are easy to do.
From our armchair to yours...
