Conversations on Kindness

'A beautiful beacon lighting the way... A gorgeous guide to embodying kindness.' Suzy Reading, author of Self-care for Tough Times 'Extraordinary … I loved it. It was the ray of sunshine I didn't know I needed' The Sun Overwhelmed by the constant flow of bad news, Bernadette Russell felt trapped, desperate for something to change. Then, a chance encounter sparked a question that would transform her life. What if one small act of kindness, every single day for a year, could ignite a light in the darkness? In Conversations on Kindness, Bernadette embarks on an extraordinary 366-day journey. From moments of unexpected joy and surprise to the times when her well-intentioned kind acts demand much more than she'd bargained for, this is a story of discovery and profound connection.
Along the way, Bernadette explores the deeper possibilities of kindness. In conversations with scientists, artists, activists and academics, it becomes clear that kindness is a powerful driver for healing, understanding and significant positive change – especially when life feels at its hardest.
Conversations on Kindness is a warm, often funny, heartfelt immersion in the power of kindness to bring us back to ourselves, to each other and to change the world.
