review 1: Two words: Simple EloquenceThis was actually a graduation speech that ended up getting published.The message here is simple -- Be Kind. It is about not only being kind, but how important it is to not miss opportunities to show kindness and it doesn't have to be a huge display. Sometimes the timing isn't always perfect to show kindness and can even be uncomfortable at times especially when going against the main stream. This was a good reminder and inspiring because through small acts, big things can happen.
review 2: This book is very, very short. It is a 10 minute read which makes me feel bad that it's counting towards my amount of books read for the year. The advice is simple: be kind. Always find opportunities to be kind. Sure, there are other things in... more life, but to be kind is what the author feels should be stressed the most. I would not waste money on this short read; however, to read through it at the library is worth your time. And really, it's short you could finish it right there at the library. less
