After reading the blurb about this book, I assumed it would simply be a list of all the random acts of kindness the author carried out over a year. However, I was pleasantly surprised and really appreciated the book's structure. The descriptions of everyday kindnesses are interwoven with interviews featuring experts, volunteer group leaders, kindness advocates, and many others. This book highlights various important issues, such as homelessness, the environment, nature, caring for animals, vegetarianism, religion, and kindness—not only toward others but also toward ourselves. I gained many ideas from the author for random acts of kindness, and I especially liked the way she carries around "kindness supplies"—such as sweets, books, and cards—giving me plenty of inspiration. I received a free advanced copy from NetGallery, and this is my honest review.
