Inspiring and Encouraging, January 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: More Random Acts of Kindness (Paperback)
This little book is easy reading, but is packed with beautiful examples of how we can give and receive these special acts of kindness. This book was given to me as a Random Act of Kindness by two wonderful people, Perry A~ and David, whom I have never met in person. These short stories cover all walks of life, including stories about those imprisoned. The only thing that I would have preferred about the book was to know who wrote each story. I plan to reference and recommend this book to my participants in my "Success Skills Seminars" that I present to corporate clients, as well as to inmates...to help lower recidivism, and reduce the number of victims of crime. Imagine how much more wonderful this world would be if we all practiced more Random Acts of Kindness.

Profoundly Beautiful Experiences, July 17, 2009
This review is from: More Random Acts of Kindness (Paperback)
"...think of the untapped potential that would be unleashed if we could find a way to weave the kindness in our hearts into every moment of our lives."
"More Random Acts of Kindness" is a collectible book filled with inspiring stories of people who either experienced a random act of kindness or facilitated one. This is the type of book you want to keep but you also want to share. People have been known to buy multiple copies to give away to friends and family. These stories will make you smile or perhaps even cry. I wasn't prepared for the emotional response some of the experiences provoked.
This book reminded me of one experience from my own life when I was a child and we didn't have money for Christmas presents. Someone drove up to our driveway and then dropped off a box of gifts. We heard someone at the door but when we opened the door the person had run off and had driven off very fast so as not to be discovered. That Christmas was one of the most memorable in my life and we still don't know who left the gifts.
If you love stories like this you will enjoy this book. Most of the stories are short and are two to three pages long. It is very enjoyable to read through these experiences and it reminds the reader that there are many possible ways to be loving and kind.
Highly Recommended! This book should have more than a hundred reviews it is that good.

Moving stories and ideas to share your gifts with others., June 1, 2007
This review is from: More Random Acts of Kindness (Paperback)
It's a wonderful little book and I often felt tears of joy coming from my face.
Of course, I am also a bit prejudice to this little book -- my story is featured on page 110!!! Conari Press received about 1000 stories back in 1993 and chose only twenty-five of us to be included in the book. I was one of the twenty-five!!!
It was quite exciting to see my writing in print, and still going strong!
Sincerely, Angela Theresa Egic
