** 2012 Independent Book Award Nominee ** Praise for The Kindness Cure: "The Kindness Cure is a powerful and driven read, not to be overlooked..." - Midwest Book Review "Science has proven that performing or even reading about others' acts of kindness produces pain-killing endorphins and mood-boosting serotonins-nature's healing chemicals. If you're looking for a great book to help generate ideas on how to enrich your life and the lives of others, Scott H. Lewis' book, The Kindness Cure: 52 Weeks to a More Fulfilling Life is a great starting point." - CJ Scarlet Named one of the "Happy 100 People on the Planet" and author of "Neptune's Gift: Discovering Your Inner Ocean" "Scott H. Lewis is a kindness mentor. Let him guide you, as he has me, to deeper levels of kindness that will change the world." Steve Sjogren Author of "Conspiracy of Kindness" From The Publisher: Like ripples on a pond, each kind act creates goodwill and softens hearts. In The Kindness Cure, writer and lecturer Scott H. Lewis examines how the internet, television and 24-hour news coverage has caused people to become desensitized to tragedy and hardened to strife, and how this has led to more self-centered living. But just as violence breeds violence, kindness breeds kindness. We can live kinder, happier lives and learn to care about each other again. Adopting a kindness lifestyle isn't easy, but it results in happier, more fulfilled and more optimistic lives. The Kindness Cure is inspirational, uplifting and entertaining as it demonstrates how to assess your life then guides you through a year-long voyage of self-discovery. We cannot change the world, but if we change, the world may change with us.
