I have always felt that kindness is love made visible. As this encouraging book from David Hamilton points out, it also slows ageing, improves heart health and is kind of contagious as well!
MichaelNeill, bestsellingauthorof TheInside-Out Revolutionand TheSpace Within

I LOVE David Hamilton. And anyone (even if it was Darth Vader) who writes about kindness gets my endorsement, my kudos, and my first-born child. Just kidding about the first-born child, but I do want to encourage anyone who might listen to me (the three of you) to GET THIS BOOK! And be kind. Always. And forever.

This book is an act of kindness! Its packed full of practical, inspirational and scientifically proven techniques for how to bring more kindness into our lives, and it makes you want to go and be kind!
Charlie Morley, authorofDreamsofAwakening

This is the book for you if youve ever wished for an easier life. David has a way of making the complex very simple and profound obvious. I had so many aha moments while reading this book and Im absolutely sure you will too. Do yourself the greatest kindness and open these pages as you open your mind, while you allow David to gently open your heart to a whole world of possibilities and the life you truly deserve.
AliCampbell, authorofJustGetonWith it!and MoreThan JustSex

If you think this is a whimsical book on kindness, please think again. David Hamilton wouldnt create a book of sugar-coated fluff, even though hes an expert on placebos! No one on this planet has researched the mindbody connection in the way David has. He lives it and he embodies it! His last book, I Heart Me, took us on a journey of Self-love; this book is about Social-love and the brilliant side effects kindness has on our own wellbeing. David shows you that kindness is far from being whimsical its powerful. It will improve your life and your world.
Becky Walsh, author, broadcasterandTV Presenter

Kindness is an electrical spark of life that runs through all kingdoms and has a reciprocal action when shown to others. David has a remarkable capacity to write from the heart, from his own experiences, which, when combined with scientific evidence, makes this book truly unique. As science shows, physical changes occur in the brain when kindness is expressed. David explains how this kindness can be used to overcome stress, anxiety and depression, and strengthening the heart. In my opinion, this book would make a fascinating and enlightening read for all ages. I found it a real treasure of insight and practical application.
