If you find yourself sharing an isolated hiking trail with a heavily tattooed young man with an unstable gait, eager to start a conversation with you, where does your imagination take you? Are you on guard? Do you make assumptions? Do you choose to distance yourself? That is exactly what Rick did, only to discover that this remarkable human being taught him a priceless lesson about judgment.
Rick’s story is one of many inspiring personal accounts in Lessons of Kindness. A diverse range of more than seventy contributors from around the world donated their stories based upon a common wish to share how they encountered goodness in times of uncertainty and despair. Coupled with exquisite photographs of heart-shaped rocks found along the California coastline, these true stories illuminate the acts of kindness unfolding all around us, helping to restore our faith in humanity.

"And this is what Lessons of Kindness does. It reminds us that we each have the capacity to be kind and loving—to ourselves and others. The essence of kindness can be found throughout these pages. Allow it to permeate your heart and mind."

"The common thread through all the incredible stories in this book is kindness—one of the most powerful forces in the universe. When we connect in kindness, in understanding, and with deep empathy—for others and for ourselves—lives transform. And when we transform lives, we transform the world. Kindness is both selfless and in our own self interest, because the secret of kindness is that it contains the roots of lasting joy and happiness for all.”
