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.

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.

Of course these stories are very motivating. I wish it were available on audible. I am going to record it on my computer and download it to MP3, so I can listen while driving, etc.

By reading this book you will find that there a a lot of people out their that are good people and not everyone is out for only their profit,
