This book was such a great read, especially with so much going on in today's world. If you want reassurance that there are still so many wonderful people out there, you must read this book! It definitely made me smile and also tugged ar my heart strings! Loved it!

This is a short collection of feel-good stories that reminds me of the Chicken Soup series of books. Short, uplifting tales to brighten your day. And a great antidote to the gloom and doom all around us. Some of the stories I'd heard before, some not. But a good selection regardless of whether you're familiar or not.

I read it in a couple of sittings, but really think it is one of those to keep on hand to dip into every once in a while.

This book is what everyone needs today, to hear about the good in the world. I really enjoyed reading all the stories about everyday people helping others. If yohh need a break from the doom, gloom, and negative controversy that fills our nightly news and headlines, pick up this boom. Your heart will feel lighter and your soul will be refreshed and just maybe inspired to share a little joy of your own.

What an inspirational read! The author really proved that a random act of kindness can have far-reaching effects! It was nice to read something positive in these divided times.

This companion to Meserve's novel "Good Sam" is comprised of example after example of true stories of people caught in the act of kindness. When you need a break from the news of the day, enjoy a story or two from this book and your spirits will be lifted as you're reminded that there are plenty of good people left in the world - we just don't get to hear about them enough.

Heart felt and sincere! Such a refreshing read! I fell in love with each and every story. It was such a welcome break from all the terrible stories and events going on in the world that are blasted in our faces every waking moment. I focused on starting and ending my days with this book and it inspired me to be a better person during the day and sleep better at night. This book gave me an overall sense of well-being and happiness.

Thank you Netgalley and Melrose Hill Publishing for this advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

The stories in the book really tug on the heartstrings and do remind you that there are good people out there and every gesture no matter how small matters! After being hammered day in and day out with all the nastiness in the world around you as well as seeing it around you in the community because sometimes people find it easier to be mean to one another it was nice to come home and read these stories because it helped me remember that there are kind people in this world. Thank you Dete and Rachel for compiling these stories fo.r us! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book from NetGalley

I received this book "Random Acts of Kindness" from NetGalley and all opinions expressed are my own. It was an okay book - reminds me of Chicken Soup books. Quick read.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Kudos to Dete Meserve and Rachel Greco, authors of “Random Acts of Kindness” for this inspirational, emotional, gratifying unique, and amazing collection of “Random Acts of Kindness”. These are short examples of people from all backgrounds, ages, occupations, and talents, who haven given from their hearts, not expecting anything back in return.

Random Acts of Kindness by Dete Meserve and Rachel Greco is a breath of fresh air! We live in a world and society that too often focuses on negative news. This collection of true stories is a refreshing look at ordinary people who saw others in need and stepped forward to meet the need, or who did something to benefit the world and make it better. They did so not for personal gain or recognition, but because it helped others, and was the right, and caring thing to do.

How amazing it would be if each of us would take the time to step out of our self-imposed “bubbles” and performed an act of kindness! Often our actions have much more of an impact than we ever realize, for good or for bad.

Kudos to the authors for bringing us these stories and to the people whose stories of unselfishness they told!

Random Acts of Kindness by Dete Meserve and Rachel Greco. In 2015 my cousins daughter who was 16 passed away and one of my cousins slogans was Be Kind. This book is beautiful. Kindness is very important in the world some of the acts in this book are beautiful. Like coming up with better ways to help the homeless. Helping people who cannot mow lands themselves. The ladies that made tiny angel gowns for baby that have passed away. Thankyou Dete Meserve and Rachel Greco for writing this book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ecopy of this book for my Kindle.
The stories are inspirations to anyone who reads this book. There was only one story in the book that I was familiar with, so it was interesting to read so many "acts of kindness" stories.
People from all types of backgrounds and areas throughout our country touch people in need whether it's physical need or a kind word. This books shows readers that all of us can pay forward or show acts of kindness every day of our lives.
What an uplifting and encouraging read!

Random Acts of Kindness was a sweet and heartwarming compilation of real life acts of love both given and received. It was uplifting and inspiring, and I teared up several times while reading it. I am already dedicated to committing random acts of kindness, but this book definitely reinforced my principles, and I hope it inspires others to do the same.

I don't want to include any spoilers in my review, but I do have to say that my favorite story was about Lillian Weber, the 100 year old woman who, after the loss of her beloved husband, found a renewed purpose in her life by sewing a dress a day for girls in need for the nonprofit Little Dresses for Africa. Beautiful.

I received an advance copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I usually give my reading preference to fiction, but I decided that this year I should give non-fiction books another try, and I am very happy to start with "Randon Acts of Kindness".

This book combines multiple stories from across the US that unites people of different age, ethnicity, and status. And the only factor that unites them is a desire to help others. Each person described in the book has different reasons that pushed them towards their act of kindness. Each story is unique, heartwarming and inspiring.

Every individual act of kindness described in the book reminds the reader that there are good people left in this world who do countless selfless good deeds and motivate us to continue the goodwill.

Thank you NetGalley and Melrose Hill Publisher for a free and advanced copy of this book, and another huge thank you to the authors Dete Meserve and Rachel Grego for sharing these wonderful stories and restoring our faith in humanity.

Random Acts of Kindness is a collection of uplifting stories that reminds us that there are some nice people in this world. These stories will remind you that something small you do could make someone's day change in a instant.

I started reading and couldn't stop! Each chapter is uplifting, heart-felt and will make you remember the "good" in this world!
It is the small moments that bring about happiness to another and kindness will prevail if we continue to encourage it.
Truly a book that you can open and start reading wherever you find yourself in these pages! I believe we should all have a copy of this wonderful story book. Love it!
