review 1: Ok, so I only made it through halfway through the first subject: "Kindness", so my opinion doesn't have a whole lot to go on, but I just didn't want to keep reading it.I think my main issue with this book is that I really don't think it said much of anything. I mean, when you think of living a loving life of course kindness is going to be one of your traits. I don't really need a whole chapter of examples on different ways to be kind. I learned that stuff when I was 5. Granted, we don't always do it, but it's not because we don't know what kindness is. I just felt like it was extremely surface level and simply reiterated the basic "this is how to be a good human" traits that everyone should know by the time they could even pick this book up to read it. To me, the examples ... moreand discussion of "kindness" just did not at all have any depth or insight in it whatsoever and just became annoying. It was annoying enough that I don't really want to pick it up and read the rest of the book.
review 2: Why is it so hard to follow something so simple? The seven keys Kindness, Patience, Forgivness, Courtesy, Humility, Generosity, and Honesty are simple, strait forward and known to all of us. Yet in every relationship that we have, we have to work at using these traits. Sometimes its easier than others bu in every relationship I could remember to apply these keys a little better. That is what this book did for me. It reminded me who I want to be and how I want to interact with the people around me. less
