Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-08 00:00:00 Andrew Soller Humanity is "irrevocably interconnected, for better or worse" notes Forrest (coauthor, EMDR: The Breakthrough Therapy for Overcoming Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma), and she figures it might as well be for the better. In unerringly upbeat writing, she puts in a plug for kindness. The tactics that she promotes sound deceptively simple (e.g., listen, offer companionship, encourage laughter), but to perform them truly takes guts and courage. Kind and nice are sharply distinguished; the latter can be faked while the former, which can change someone's life forever, cannot. This will raise awareness and give readers very real, if subjective, food for thought. Whereas other books, like Random Acts of Kindness, merely talk about inspiration, this actually inspires. Like one of Batman's plans, it's so crazy that it just might work! With a foreword by Catherine Ryan Hyde (Pay It Forward), this is recommended.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-09-12 00:00:00 Jason Raynes A little book with a big heart. I loved it so much I'm buying it because I will need constant reminders (and the personal stories really get the point across).
