This Wall Street Journal Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller and Canadian Book Club Award Winner is filled with true stories about how one small deed can make a world of difference. "Elegant and wise" (Deepak Chopra), "The most uplifting and life-affirming book in years." (Forbes)

Brad Aronsons life changed in an instant when his wife, Mia, was diagnosed with leukemia. After her diagnosis, Brad spent most of the next two and a half years either by her side as she received treatment or trying to shield their five-year-old son, Jack, from the worst of Mias illness. Amid the stress and despair of waiting for the treatment to work, Brad and Mia were met by an outpouring of kindness from friends, family and even complete strangers.

Inspired by the many demonstrations of "humankindness" that supported their family through Mias recovery, Brad began writing about the people who rescued his family from that dark time, often with the smallest of gestures. But he didnt stop there. Knowing that simple acts of kindness transform lives across the globe every day, he sought out these stories and shares some of the best ones here.

In HumanKind, youll meet the mentor who changed a childs life with a single lesson in shoe tying, the six-year-old who launched a global kindness movement, the band of seamstress grandmothers who mend clothes for homeless people, and many other heroes.

Brad also provides dozens of ways you can make a difference through the simplest words and deeds. Youll discover how buying someone a meal or sharing a little encouragement at the right time can change someones world, as well as your own.

The resource section at the back of th provides guidance and organizations that will help you channel and amplify your own acts of kindness. Here youll discover:

And over fifty more ways you can change a life.
