The Keys to Kindness - How to be Kinder to Yourself, Others and the World

Using the latest research from psychology and neuroscience, and working in collaboration with the University of Sussex''s world-leading Kindness Institute, Claudia Hammond takes us on a eye-opening tour of kindness: what constitutes kindness (it''s not just one thing), effective strategies to build more of it into our lives and the benefits of being kind. The book is structured around the seven keys of kindness: 1. Start by understanding what it is 2. You need to recognise it when you see it / There''s more kindness in the world than you might think 3. Kindness makes you feel good and that''s OK 4. Kindness is not a weakness / Kind people are winners 5. Kindness comes from understanding others 6. Anyone can be a hero 7. Kindness starts with being kind to yourself 8. Afterword: A prescription for kindness You are kinder than you think, but we could all be kinder still - with enormous benefits for our personal mental health and wellbeing. The Art of Kindness sets out a prescription for a kinder life that you can adapt to your own circumstances, and how to apply these lessons to ourselves, others and the planet.
