What READERS
are saying:
"I read A Short Course in
Kindness on a plane trip cross-country. What an eye-opener! I
think everyone needs to be reminded of the truths you present. The
part that really hit me was the chapter on the importance of being
kind to yourself. That is something I've never really done, but I
am going to make it a priority from now on."
-- Paul
Capps
financial planner
"I loved A Short Course
in Kindness. Since reading it, I have found myself stopping,
thinking, and choosing the kindness path in situations rather than
just automatically reacting. And it feels so good."
