Do You Want To Join Me On The Path To More Kindness? One Can Start By Reading “A Year Of Living Kindly”

As I’ve gotten older, I don’t know if I’ve necessarily gotten too much wiser. I’d like to think I have, but I’m not always too sure. In fact, I’ve actually realized how stubborn and set in my ways I can be. I’ve also realized how much room there is for improvement. So, I’ve tried to make it a goal each day to read a little bit in books that help bring about self-improvement in myself. Truthfully, I haven’t been too successful in reading every single day, but it’s a goal I’m working towards. And, something is better than nothing. Well, one book I recently received is a book I’m loving in terms of helping me to improve myself. It’s called, A Year Of Living Kindly: Choices That Will Change Your Life And The World Around You, by Donna Cameron.

KindnessThis book will cause the reader to pause and think and hopefully act with increased, meaningful kindness. It has already caused me to cringe, which is actually a good thing. It made me cringe because I read things that are so true about me that I need to change in order to be a kinder person.

There are 52 chapters in this book. So, one could read one chapter a week and truly reflect on and work on what that chapter contains during the week. Some of the chapters that affected me strongly include the following:

  • “Kindness and Generosity: It’s Not All About Money,”
  • “Pay Attention: Kindness Requires Presence,”
  • “What Do You Want Your Legacy To Be?” (thinking like this always puts things in perspective), and
  • “What If I Don’t Feel Like Being Kind?”

Imagine if the whole world read this book. I would hope the world would become a better place. We have so far to go to become a kinder world. Just look at the news. Well, we can start with ourselves. And, maybe once people see kindness in us, it’ll encourage them to be more kind as well. With New Year’s Day coming up, this book would be a wonderful tool to help one accomplish a New Year’s resolution to be a kinder person!

A Year Of Living Kindly is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle version. It’s also available at IndieBound.org. Check it out. I highly recommend it. And, don’t forget to spread the kindness!
