5.0 out of 5 stars A gem!, July 20, 2000

By A Customer

In a world full of hate, violence, and selfishness, this book helps us remember each other in the best of ways. It helped found the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation and is responsible of Random Acts of Kindness week. The publishers at Conari Press have truly created a timeless work of inspiration and beauty. Go out and commit a random act of kindness yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars It was inspiring and warm, May 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Random Acts of Kindness (Audio Cassette)

I listened to this book on tape on my morning walk. I've listened to it many times and it always starts my day off with a positive feeling. It inspired me to do kind things for people - like giving 10 hamburgers to a homeless man with my son. He told his class and many children went out that week and did more kind things so that they could share their kind acts with the class. It had a great ripple effect.

By A Customer

I found this book to be of good value. It helped me to remember my fellow man. It deals with all aspects of how our kindness effects not only others bur our own life. I have read this book more than a dozen times. I find it helps when iam depressed or sad.
