A Year of Living Kindly: Choices That Will Change Your Life and the World Around You by Donna Cameron
5.0
UPDATE: I now have a full post on this book and how to be more kind! Please find it here:

I know I'll be talking about A Year of Living Kindly more properly in a bigger post at some point, but since it's been recently published, I just want to mention it at least in short now. This book talks about how, despite popular belief, kindness shouldn't be considered a weakness, but rather a strength, and that it is more likely to bring you success in life rather than get you trampled on. What I loved about it the most is that it analyzes kindness outside of the religious viewpoints, so it works for absolutely anyone. A Year of Living Kindly is comprised out of separate topic chapters, at the end of which you will find actionable insights on what things you should focus on in your own day to day life to help you strive to be more kind. It also explains in detail just WHY kindness is WORTH IT, and why you should try to be more kind, and I mean truly kind to others – not just nice. This book was amazing and I was so happy to find good thoughts on a topic that nobody really talks about, but everybody desperately needs to start discussion on, and especially OUTSIDE the religious context (because that is often something that builds more barriers between people, rather than encourage positive change.) I recommend this book from the bottom of my heart and think everyone should read it.
I thank the publisher for sending me a copy for review in exchange for my honest opinion. It doesn't affect my opinion.
