A course in compassion from the creators of Random Acts of Kindness, Practice Random Acts of Kindness is a compilation of inspiring meditations, affirmations, and true stories collected from the growing number of "kindness experts" in the world. Contributors include Cecil Williams, Billy Graham, Rosalyn Carter, the Dalai Lama, presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton, and a once-homeless millionaire in Los Angeles whose life was transformed by an anonymous act of generosity. Kindness is a revolution whose time has come and, while most people sincerely want to be more caring, Practice Random Acts of Kindness brings it all home with simple suggestions of how to be kinder and why. From the wake of Hurricane Katrina to the tragedy of the tsunami to troops in Iraq performing acts of daily compassion, we see many glimpses of what a more benevolent world might look like. In Practice Random Acts of Kindness, the editors who flamed the spark of kindness tell us exactly how we can create this future and effect REAL change through kindness.

This review is from: Practice Random Acts of Kindness: Bring More Peace, Love, And Compassion into the World (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful expression on what the world needs most. I just couldn't punish my 8 month old puppy when he ate the cover off the book. So, even there is a random act of kindness inspired by this book.
I really enjoy Kushner's books.

This review is from: Practice Random Acts of Kindness: Bring More Peace, Love, And Compassion into the World (Paperback)
Have you ever wondered what impact your daily encounters can have on those around you? Have you ever thought that good deeds go unnoticed?
Taken from the stories of individuals that have been touched by kindness, this compilation explores the connections we have to one another, and shows us how to live fully from a place of gratitude for even the seemingly smallest acts. Practice Random Acts of Kindness is organized into themed sections, with short stories or meditations offered on kindness all relating back to thought provoking quotes. "The attitude we have toward the world affects everyone around us. ... When we are able to move through our lives radiating happiness, we are like mobile suns, bathing everyone in the warmth of our rays."

"Try not. do or do not, there is no try." -- Yoda, in The Empire Strikes Back movie of the Star Wars trilogy Each special story starts with a quote. To me, this Yoda quote says it all. We should not talk or think about doing random acts of kindness--we should be doing them. People's stories are divided into six sections: Kindness Is An Attitude and an Action Kindness Begins at Home Kindness Ripples Out into the World Kindness Creates Happiness and Peace of Mind Kindness Generates Love and Compassion Kindness Feeds the Body and Soul In all areas of our life we can practice acts of kindness--and that is shown in these stories collected by the authors of Random Acts of Kindness. The Random Acts of Kindness series has sold over 1.5 million books since first published in 1996. This latest release provides readers with meditations, affirmations, and stories collected on kind deeds throughout the world. It gives readers the spiritual and psychological impetus to "pay it forward" in a meaningful way, understanding that their act may go unnoticed, but as Rabbi Kushner says "our reward is the knowledge that we have redeemed the world." At a time when readers are starved for heartfelt stories, good deeds, concerned neighbors, and all around compassion, Conari felt the time was right to reprint this book. Armchair Interview says: Now is the time to act. Acts of kindness are easy to do.
