À propos de cet audio

Being kind is something most of us do when it's easy and when it suits us. Being kind when we don't feel like it, or when all of our buttons are being pushed, is hard. But that's also when it's most needed; that's when it can defuse anger and even violence, when it can restore civility in our personal and virtual interactions. Kindness has the power to profoundly change our relationships with other people and with ourselves. It can, in fact, change the world.

In A Year of Living Kindly - using stories, observation, humor, and summaries of expert research - Donna Cameron shares her experience committing to 365 days of practicing kindness. She presents compelling research into the myriad benefits of kindness, including health, wealth, longevity, improved relationships, and personal and business success. She explores what a kind life entails, and what gets in the way of it. And she provides practical and experiential suggestions for how each of us can strengthen our kindness muscle so choosing a life of kindness becomes ever easier and more natural. An inspiring, practical guide that can help any listener make a commitment to kindness, A Year of Living Kindly shines a light on how we can create a better, safer, and more just world-and how you can be part of that transformation.

Kindness from a corporate perspective

This felt like a “how to make yourself a better person in 10 easy steps” type book.

While I think the book does have merit, the reader grated on me. And I just didn’t feel like there was much warmth in the writing, or genuine humility. Had it been full of stories about how she tried to act in kindness - and the ups and downs of that journey. Or the stories of others, reader’s digest style and the butterfly effect of kindness I think that would have been so much more inspiring.

Laid out in 52 chapters, one for each week of the year, the author expects you to pick it up off and on for a year. But, I was so ready to be done after the first hour. Mostly I just listened feeling guilt about every time I’ve been “nice not kind” and gotten exasperated and unkind with support people over the phone.

I liked all the quotes she shared, I enjoy good quotes! But her language throughout just felt uncalled for… words like, “bitch - bozo - horse’s ass - a warm turd” - these just felt so harsh on the ear, and highly unnecessary.

Overall it was just far too corporate / trendy for my taste. I was looking for something a little more down to earth and real. The best I can say for the book is that it put kindness at the forefront of my mind, and I’ve been trying to go out of my way to be not just nice, but actually kind as I’m out and about.
